    15" front tubs infills mandatory for 15 wheels?

    Hi, my question is: Are 15" front tubs infills mandatory for fitting 15" on a bubble arch Mk1?

    https://www.gartrac.com/shop/front-1...ches-pair.html

    If so what are the options besides gartrac to buy them?

    Best regards

    No. I have standard front inner arches on my bubble arched mk1 with the wider aftermarket alloy hubs and 8x15 rims. It will depend on the width (and offset) of the rims, hub and tyres, and you will of course get more clearance with the Gartrac infill panels, but as far as I'm concerned, they're not essential, certainly not on a road car anyway.

    If you still wanted to go down this route these are a fair bit cheaper on ebay.
