Arches, Widestuff, Etc

[Fielder5757]

I plan to put G60 Arches on my golf, So i figured i get the original metal arches entirely flattened out and then fix the wide arches over the top, That way making the arch space wider, Then extending my grip by moving the wheels wider, Two problems tho,

1) how do i fix the G60s to the arches if there flat and i cant pop rivit them into place

2) how can i make the cars stance wider without extending the axls? Could i just put some spacers inbetween and then use longer bolts? Im not too sure on this one.

Thanks for the help

I get the feeling No body knows what im on about

U want to add arch extensions like on mk3 GTI/VR6's?

No, i want to add Mk2 G60 plastic arches to my Mk2, Then extend the width of my cars stance by widing the axls or somthing, Just asking if i can use spacers etc or will i need new axls???

Not sure about fixing the arches on ya MK2. On my first first MK1 I ended up choosing the width I required then fiber glassing them from ubder neath, then smothing with filler.  Not the best way but only one i can think off.  As far as stance goes, depending on the amount of space you give yourself, choose a wheel a wider offset with longer bolts.  Dont reccomend spacers.  bit scary.

Apparently you rivet the bottoms where it isnt rolled and then stick the top on with glue

rivet the g60 arches at the bottoms and then flatten out the metal up into the plastic of the arch. that way it'll be completely out of the way, yet provide a surface to atatch the plastic to. just bond that on with silaflex.

to widen your wheels you'll need spacers, but like someone said previous I myself are a little weary of doing that.

ok, Thanks for the info guys

Or just buy genuine G60 wings, which are still available from VAG, and will allow your arches to fix to them exactly like they should ??

[Fielder5757]

yes but would not allow me to cut open the arches to get the car lower
