hi all, i've fallen smitten to a set of gold 12x6 mambas for my thirty and some 165/60/12 tyres (possibly A532's)

 

i currently have a set of gold 12x5 supalites with 145/70/12 tyres with standard rover special arches and on full lock on uneven ground they just about touch the wing 

 

will these new wheels/tyres rub any more than present ? they are wider but slightly shorter so maybe this would cancel out ??

 

also how far will they stick out from the arches ? i like wheel poke but i don't want anything ridiculous - a thirty has spaced drums and discs so will be wider than on a drums all round mini if that helps 

 

Cheers

Yep, they will rub quite a lot. This is all relative to your ride height, I run 6x12 supalites and had to trim the arches/front panel quite a lot.

 

They will poke a bit as well, this pic might give you a better idea...

i've got wedge stance with my fronts nearly on bump stops when i sit in it atm and tyres rub sometimes on full lock 

 

that said that looks b-e-a-utiful  i love the wheel poke, do you get much hassle from the old bill and mots etc with that set up ?

I didn't really use it enough to have any bother from the po, but it just got dirty to the point where it needed washing all the time, which annoyed me.

hmmm i don't want to have to wash it even more often than i already do :L i really like the 12x6 mambas but i don't want to put wider arches on it either .....

Neggy camber will bring poke in a bit ;)
