Hi,

I'm looking into making my saloon have wider round arches but, i want to keep the steel wheels i have on it at the moment, is there any sort of big whel spacers you can get on the market or does it have to be a bespoke job.

Also while on the on wide arches, does anyone have any suggestions on which, wide round arches, may be roughly the right mesurements, i'm thinking milli miglia they would suit, but not sure if they are big enough, also have mk1 fiesta wide arch kit in mind and tarmac escort mk2 arches.

Thanks
Nath

I would say about 50mm wider.

no, because 1 im not loaded and 2 i don't think they do them for the rear. i want something simple not costly.

Good price!;)

While youre thinking about arches, why dont you just use the hatch rallycross kit front and back on the saloon, fronts fit like Oli's above then just rivet the backs on and instant widening with nova look still about it!:thumb:

Yeah very good price, sorry not looking to be buying bits at the moment just scouting.

I was thinking of just getting the normal nova kit but, i want to keep the round arches a one off kind of look on a nova saloon.
