I was going to buy a set of 13inch by 7inch wide superlites, they are deep dish, does anyone know if they will be too wide like sitting out over the arches? I don't know what offset they are. Thanks.

my wheels and 6.5" wide and they rub on the arches as it is

unless you modify your arches they'll be awful

do you mean the inside arch or outside? as the wheels definetly would'nt rub inside cause the dish make the studs sit closer in to the hub?

im running 7" wheels with a ET of 40 that are 15's and droped 60mm on the front 80mm on the back

and my god hardly any trouble just had to roll the back arches thats all, but due to having an ice build in the back and no mates they dont rub as there no weight in the back


EDIT - well i say rolled there arches i had to grind them totaly off!

thing is though, your wheels may have been 7" but the superlites are dished so the wheel sits further out from the hub or arch, i'm wondering if it would be out to far. Thinking that if i go over a bump the wheels will hit the arch the visible bit cause the wheel is out level or more with it, anyone ever had anything simlar? Thanks.

could look good on a euro style nova slammed into the weeds.
as for the arches, they could be flared out over the wheels...

IMO to make them look half right the car would have to be ultra smooth. No bodykits and slammed about 100mm with the arches flared out at about 45 degrees. A lot of work to do the arches but I think they look really good with small wheels. The only problem with running wheels that small is the brakes that you have to run. I wouldnt go for any engine bigger than a 1.3 SR TBH
