widening arches

[MrMPuk]

These.

Captain hook - picture please! And Mr Puck - those ones shown on the van are for sale then? They look similar to Tourneos only loads better, so a nice subtle mod. I'm not sure if it is worth the hassle going up just 1" in size. I currently have two nearly new tyres on my rear wheels, two more brand new ready to go on the front (which I got with the van) and they are all a good make, matching, but 14". So, I either need to just get 14" wheels and put all my tyres on, or sell what I have and start again. Obviously the latter option will be better though more costly Ideally I'd like a cheap set of 16" that will go straight on, don't mind refurbishing myself infact would be a good little project. Guess I can get a set of tyres cheap if I look around.

My wheels are the same as Alan N's only 15' dia and white.

I would expect to pay at least £350 for Mr MPuk's wheels

I've only ever seen one other set and......They're mine

these are the 16" redrills i was talking about

What me mate did on his plug to take some wider minilites was cut a line all the way around the arch, pull it out to the required 'spat' then filled the gap, obviously it was fibreglass so a bit easier, should be do'able..

How much are they sticking out past the arch Luke?

I like the bumper on that with the built in lights, have been considering doing something similar myself when funds allow. Got any more pictures of it?

about 5-6mm more than my wellers i'll get some pics to show but they are legal - none of the tread is past

Just seen these on the bayhttp://cgi.ebay.co.uk/TUNING-WHEEL-ARCH ... 3a5fafe7b8
They seem a bit expensive though

they wont make it much wider tho - they are just for covering rusty arches

slightly on topic, still got a drilling jig for landy to transit if anyone wants it, just the plate with holes (5x landy & 5xtransit), would need landy studs pressing in to complete, would be 7 quid for the delivery (courier).

Luke, I've been wondering - those redrills still only have five holes, so how did you re drill? Thought it meant just leaving the old holes and starting afresh (as they are just very slightly out?). And the wheels ARE still within the normal arches? Don't think I'm ever going to get to the bottom of all this...

the old holes have been welded up

yes as monster says welded the old holes up........... and they are under the standard arches - but wellers are differnt offsets so you need to be sure you get a narrowish one
