I need to get some arches for my 13x7 wheels. The wheels are already ordered and sitting in my garage but rub on the front edge of the current ones (I had 12 inch tires before).

So, which ones are recommended? The vTec arches? Group 5? Budget arches? I've seen a few kinds out there, but some of them have a 4-6 week wait and honestly, I'd rather order them and have them here next week. Any recommendations?

 

Sportspack style

 

Ok, which ones? The only "Sportspack" flares I see are on the minimania site and are nearly $900, which is ridiculous. I see these but they say they are only set up for 6" wheels. Any help or a link to something under $400 would be much more reasonable.

 

The ones on the linki are ugly and do not cover that whole wheel at the front.
Unless you want the agressive/racer look.

 

here you go

 

make sure if you paint them that you use a product like bull dog, that way they can flex after painting.......the ones on GB are really flimsy and usually show up out of shape....we usued them on the Seattle mini

 

thats what im talking about! much cheaper.

 

note that your front fenders may have to folded in or cut with your set up. I never cut mine, I just don't the wheels all the way.

Folding them in may be reversible while cutting will require more work to reconstruct the lip. If you are planning to keep the car for a long line, you can make it to your taste.

If you are doing this to sell it....it may be best to leave it uncut in case the new owner wants to go with a different set up.

 

cutting the fender huh? odd. when i did have the wheels on there and drove around the block realizing the flare rub, there wasnt any fender rub or anything like that. are you talking about it would have to be modified to compliment the front flares?

 

for stock height it's a nonissue.
Some cars rub on the left on hard turns.
cheers,
