Hi Rosie sorry to ask on an old post. Can you send me details of the front and rear wheels and tyres please.
Looks the nuts
8x15s et0 great for filling the arches (ralloy)[img]http://media2.turbosport.co.uk/2013/11/2016101611029874245IMG_20160807_171258.jpg[/img
Thanks for the picture and information. I really want to stick with 13" 9J rears with a deep dish, and 8J fronts
The car will have a 50" axel and Tarmac archs.
Will they not rub with a bit of the old sideways slide

Remember guys, works arches are not designed to be filled to the top widest point.
Think more about what engine you are running and how you want it to handle to choose rubber/wheels,

Is it ET0 that gives the wider wheel and deepest dish
ET0 has the wheel mounting face in the centre line of the wheel. Therefore there is just as much distance to the outside face of the wheel as the inside. Negative offset moves the mounting face towards the inside face (increasing the dish), pushing the wheel further out, positive offset moves the mounting face towards the outside face of the wheel, moving the wheel more inboard to the car (giving less dish).
Most front wheel drive cars are mainly positive offset, rwd tends vary between a small amount of positive offset to a reasonable amount of negative.
There's some interplay between the width of a rim and the offset you want. If you want a deeper dish, you can do it two ways - decrease the amount of positive offset (or increase the amount of negative, it's the same thing), which moves the mounting face further in, giving you a wider dish on the outside, or fit a wider rim and keep the offset the same, which will increase the amount of dish either side of the wheel.
You're best off looking at one of the calculator tools to work out what width and offset you need, compared to what you're starting with. Here's a good one: http://www.wheel-size.com/calc/

Hello mate , could you tell me what front arches you've got and post a picture of them.ive got Forrest arches at the minute but want to change them.cheers Tim
Hi mate sorry just seen this fronts and spoiler are from alloy racing fabrications but not sure they still do them would definitely recommend ralloy or gartrac
Hi,
