flared arch decision (pics needed)
« on: January 07, 2008, 17:52:54 »
i want to buy some flared arches but after looking at both the flexi ones and the roccia ones im unsure which ones i want :-k
to start with i was going to buy the flexi 50mm ones then i found the roccia 100mm ones that i know seem a bit over the top but looking at the pics on there site they look the tits!

what i really need is to see some pics of various arch and tyre size combo's including any lift details just so i can see what works and what dont as i hope i can use your experiance to save me the cost of trial and error if that makes sense?

cheers

I fitted the glass fibre one's to BB and think they look better than the flexi ones.

Look in my gallery for pictures.

BB has 60mm suspension and 1.5" body lift, sitting on 33 x 12.5 x R15 boots.

hi cheers for your info but without sounding stupid where do you find the gallery as the last time i looked at someones gallery im sure the website was different?

im guessing when you hit 1000 posts you feel the same sense of acheivment you get when your cars milometer reaches a round figure or even better 123456 miles :lol:

not to worry i clicked the link in your sig and found them i thought there was a seperate bit in peoples profiles for pics or did i imagine that?

as for the pics im guessing the the rims are 8" wide mods if so do these come in different offsets as ive not noticed anywhere offering a choice?
also do you have spacers fitted as from what i can make out the wheels sit fairly flush to the arches wfich is what i want to achieve on mine

cheers

No wheel spacers fitted. My gallery is here: http://members.mud-club.com/profiles/chris9119/gallery/BigBoy

Not sure where the gallery link's have gone from the bottom of everyones post's, but will ask the question of admin./mod.
