anything is doo-able, all boils down to how much effort and cash youre willing to put into it.

Is there enough room inside the arch to tuck the wheel up? :D unless you do some massive time body.

WHY does everyone put superlites on (yawn) vw owners push the boundries ! come on mini owners ! !!

Mate if you pulled this off and did it tastefully, I'd be well impressed :D

There isn't enough room to tuck the wheel up, because of how the radius arm protrudes.. 4.5" width wheel fit nicely without having to use arches, go any wider and they stick out. So 7.5" would deffo stick out!

Unless you fabb'ed up some golf style arches which would be blended in?

It would take an immense amount of planning and work but as roofless said, anything's possible if you put your mind to it.

thanks guys im getting excited now ! how far out does the zeemax arch go ???? with extra width added and lots of filler can we not get that arch comming out further ??? why dont someone asweel produce more body kits ????? WHY does custom for a mini always have to be ARCHES AND SUPERLITES ?????? dont get it ???? can i not cut the bottom part of the zeemax arch away ? and body shell to get that arch bigger ive looked at loads of minis with 13 inch wheels and theres tons of room under there ???? AGAIN why dont someone produce a lower profile tyre for 14,15,13 inch wheels ????????? my god ???

no sorry dont own a vw love em thou ! we gatta stuff them boys !! come on mini owners ! there running away with it !!!! lolol no seriously i owned a tt with bentley alloys and air suspension ,but gat bitten by the mini bug when i had one 13 years ago so want one back ! but want to do something like the vw boys ! ! BBS RS would look sick ! and the mini on the floor with air bags ! get frustrated by custom minis thou they all look the same with the same wheels etc !
you get the odd one thats differant but usually means you have picnic tables for arches or something that looks comedy !

Yeah i see what you mean, have you got a mini and BBS rs wheels to try out sizes etc?

Also, a fibgerglass arch here, shows they can be massive. Would you want it fully metal?
