Hi
Im wondering if Im going to get my rear arches tubbed.
Im going to run the car low on 10x7 et-15.

But how would tubbed arches look with 10"? Pictures please :)

(Sorry for crappy english.. From Norway) :)

To be honest they arch doesn't look that different it just allows you to run the car around 30MM lower without the tyres rubbing. 

 

I'll be running my clubman without arch extensions and I've tubbed the body.

Like tuppers said it doesn't look much different you can just drop it a little further

Ok, so i would still manage to mount group 5 arches so they look good?

This is the Arches i have:

The best thing you can do is to mark the height that you would be tubbing the body to and then fit one of the arches to see if the mounting holes are above that line.

There's a lot of variation in shape of the aftermarket arches depending on the manufacturer so I'm not sure anyone could give you an exact answer. 

 

 

Here's how I marked the line before cutting my arches to be tubbed. 

 

Here it is marked up.


I made this up to draw the line. The top of the bar and the centre of the Sharpie are at the same hight so as you run the bar along the inside of the arch you get a perfect line on the outside.
