Would standard wheel arches not cover them? They look smart imo.
Or the group 2 arches are nice. I had them on without the chrome strip when I had 10x6" wheels.

Group to makes 1.75 inch. As i see. Want something that makes it look lower then it is with a nice curve to it.

Arches never fit. All minis are different, so some cutting is already necessary.

Also, I always add a rubber trim to fill the gaps.

Miglia arches can look good if done properly, and at 2" required is probably the only option other than Sportspack. I always thought that the front ones are a little short, so I made some longer ones.

the ones i have fit against the body but the curves are a disaster. ( its like they are made for 15 or 16 inch wheel arches.
