Noz Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 (edited) Using an old wheel as a spare, as had to limp home. Found how funny it looked. Wheel used to fit nicely. But now, well, lol 10J looks like a space saver. Found it funny, thought I'd share. Car was black before the OEM widening. 20210924_121942.mp4 Edited September 24, 2021 by Noz (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noz Posted September 24, 2021 Author Share Posted September 24, 2021 I find this so hilarious lol... Fitment on these wheels is sick. Mad to think they I uses to love how wide they were. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted September 24, 2021 Author Share Posted September 24, 2021 All fixed now. I hope my wide arch one day inspires some other creations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrickyBlue Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 That's crazy! How much wider are the arches over stock? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mugello Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 Did you make custom wheel arch liners, or just use the stock ones? I ask as I wonder if there would be a gap when extending/widening the stock arches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted September 26, 2021 Author Share Posted September 26, 2021 I widened the rear inner arch using steel work. To match the outer arch. So no gap and wheel swings right inside the arch. Front liner. I bought two sets. Cut them in half and offset them to allow for extra width. Then rivet together and seal. Oem fitment both sides. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noz Posted October 6, 2021 Author Share Posted October 6, 2021 (edited) Found a couple of old photos with the stock body and new wheels. Forgive the dodgy front wing, was an old version of the widening process I was experimenting with. As took a few versions to get it right.
