    Default 17's

    I know this question is asked all the time but I need to ask again.
    anyway. I have mk1 rear arches and mk2 fronts. What will I need to do to get the wheels to fit (it's been lowered 40mm) considering that I don't need to be careful as the cars off the road and won't need to be sprayed for a while?

    what are the difference between the mk1 and 2 arches? i didn't think there was any. You will ne 2 fold the rear ones dead flat nad posibley flair the arches and the from arches will need rollin or grindin then possibly flairing!

    Mk1`s are a pain in the arse to fit 17`s on.
