anyone know what i should fit??

how far do your wheels stick out ?

[mike.]

Group 2's are nice arches, I used them before I put my 13x7 wheels on.

Have a look at group 5's as well, they're slightly wider I think.

I've seen 6x10s covered by Group 2 narrows, Wood and Picket and stock Mini Special arches along with most other wide mini arches.

[Bungle]

yes, all depends on the brakes to how far the wheels stick out

[Tupers]

Minis with 6x10s and arches, the one at the top is on Coopers S discs and I think it's safe to assume most others are on something similar.

6x10 minilights, group 2 works arches and drums all round

[Liam Mini 35]

just a word of warning. what ever arches you decide to go for make sure they completely cover your wheels. i have got standard 8.4" brakes on mine with 6x10 minilights and huddersfield spares group 4 arches on and i keep getting pulled because they dont cover the wheels entirely. You may already know this but just thought id say.

A very underused arch: Bullet arches, use on mainly german export models!

Not very common at all, and will fit 6" wheels perfectly.

[Liam Mini 35]

they look a lot like my group 4's i have on. i was looking through mini mag the other day and theres a picture of two minis. think there brothers? red and green minis i think and they have some excellent arches on. would like to know what they are. does anyone know the cars im on about? will try and find a pic. think there in this month mini mag. sorry if im taking it off topic

Edit - Just had a quick look the picture is in this months mini mag page 96.

im running 6x10s but cant remember what arches i got lol Dean

[Scallywag630]

So what would you guys recommend for 7x13s?

[minisilverbullet]

As above "bullet arches" all the way. my wheels are 13X7 the tyres stuck out a little but a little neg camber and it was fine!

[panelbeaterpeter]

Mini Special arches look best in my opinion, and will cover most 6j wheels well enough, you can get away with a tiny bit of tread, you'll pass an MOT with no arches at all, and after that it's just down to the opinion of any coppers who decide to be ******* enough to give a cr@p. Bear in mind that alot of wheels have varying offsets, so if one wheel is ok, another may not be.

Slightly off topic, anyone have more pics/ info on the cherry red car with the Yoko tyres pictured above?

[Foxy10]

im hoping to be switching to 6x10 deep dish ultralights (et -3) il have 7.5 cooper s disks at the front and standard drums on the back. i was wondering which group 2 arches would be best? im not sure the narrow ones will be wide enough but i also think the wide ones will be too wide? has anybody got the same setup as that? (all satndard suspension by the way)

cheers
