Thinking about tubbing the rears to get my 215/13's on,what arches will be wide enougth(4-5" at sticky outist point) and fix around the top rather than the normal arch lip fixing ??

Turboing minis since '89
Supercharging minis since '04

depends on wheel offset, my clubman had 215 's on 8's and the arches were about 4 in wide

raising an old subject but thought rather than starting another thread,

is it only miglia arches that are any good for tubbed arches, i'vebought my steel & materials to do the job but dont fancy miglia arches :o/

do any other arches fit/do the job, i'm only running 5x10's i cant afford wide 10's at the moment!

or is it a cut &shut arch job for me *surprised*(

The problem is the height of the wheel arch, Sports pack might work, which everway you go the arches will end up being wide ones, or you could use slim arches but you would have to mount them right up the wing and that would look daft

Hi,
I think Sportpack should work. I've tubbed the rear of my estate, but I'm not going to say what arches I'm using as I'll get the piss taken *surprised*
Cheers,
Gavin :)

Hi,
I've seen one on 10s an sportspack arches and it looked alright. There's only mms in height difference between 10s and 13s when the tyres are on.

Gavin :)
