Hello I am after the skinniest set of arches available, I brought some group 2 ones thinking they would look good on the mini but they stick out miles, maybe they ain't actual group 2 after all?!?! So now I'm looking at either archness or the thinnest smallest arches out there, which ones would these be please??

I brought them off a guy on here, I'm not too sure which ones they are and he wasn't 100% either they might not even be group 2 who knows lol either way they just don't look right, I have 12 x 5 going on mine too, did you need to put spacers on the back wheels too? X

They look sweet and they look skinnier than the ones I brought :( guess I defo don't have group 2 :S I'm off upto mini spares next weekend so hopefully they will have some in stock that I can look at. I wasn't going to put spacers on the back of mine but when we put the wheel on we found that it was extremely close to rubbing the inner bit behind the wheel? They are just 12 x5 minilites so not sure why x

With the 4.5" x 12" standard Minilites and 165/60 x 12 tyres you don't actually need wheel arch extensions.
