as in the wheel spacers!?
looks nice at the rear mate, but not keen on the fronts being so far out from the wing, but each to their own

Thanks for the positive jekyl, The wheels are 10x18 ET20, so no spacers needed. Not sue whats going to be done next. Their legal because theres a certain percentage covered

not liking the way the wheels protrude out of the car without arches on, but when arches fitted looks ok but each to there own just my opinion thats all ....

Thats fair enough, I didn't like it before the arches were on either. I had rust on rear arches so it was a good way of removing it.

The arches are made in 2 pieces so the doors can be used
