After tubbing i fitted the rear wheel and put the arch on where it looked right and redrilled the holes!

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.
Cheers,
Gavin :)


How many times do I have to post this? 10"s and Sportspacks are great:

I would love to have go and tubb mine, the problem is that i have no arches and no paint so i guess it´s a super pro job to avoid warped panels?
Have looked at various ways of doing it but haven´t really decided on wich one yet‚ would it look good on a car without arches? Anyone have pics?

cheers

at the moment im prefering 13s and sportspacks but im probably gonna stick with the 7.5inch discs so i can put 10s on if i change my mind lol

no longer a series, but still 1.3 turbo.

oh and i think most of the rear quarter distortion is caused by triming to much out of the arch and then when you weld the strip in it pulls the quarter in all directions. if you catch my drift

no longer a series, but still 1.3 turbo.
