6.5" super wide flexi archs?

[gti-90]

hi, QT 6.5" wide flexi archs, has any1 seen? or got a set of these on their defender? are they a good quality fitting item? im expcting they will be but im wanting to make sure before forking out on them, im needing them to cover 35.12.50 wide tyres on a 10" rim so there much wider then the standard archs they will fit under the archs but id like to no what like they are? thanks given in advance of advise, cheers. :D

I used to run 12.50 wide tyres and also had the same wheel arch dilemma. Alot depends on how you want your truck to look? the qt ones are o.k and look tough but i cant see why you would need the 6.5" arches the normal ones will do fine.  My choice would or will be the flexi archs from devon 4x4 ive seen them on and they look v,nice!

or do as ive done for the past 18 months and just run with the standard arches! and spend your money on some other goodies.

Ay i dont fink i can run normal arches as it aint mot'd yet, and when i do the tyres easily stick out 2 maybe 3 inches beyond the arches, will the mot man no fail me for that? maybe if i leave a bottle of grouse in the truck he might not lol, do you mean the D44 ones as used by there offroad team? i do agree in that yeh 6.5" is big i guess the D44 ones will be 2" bigger then standard?
cheers :D

The D44 ones or the normal size qt ones should do fine. personally id take it to the mot station and see what they say? you never know. I really dont like the 6.5" arches they look awful.

I have a friend on another forum running 35x12.50 bfg muds on 10x15 rims, he has the standard size qt arches and there fine.

hi there im running 37s/12.5 and i never got the 6.5 arches i have just purchaused mine from northoffroad and i feel these are better than qts i had a set on my previous truck and theykept on sagging and ive had so much trouble with other products from there  but at the end of the day its up to u lol

[gti-90]

Cheers scat and kitted 110, i fink ile throw the 6.5"s out the window, and i dont like the idea of saggyness  :lol: on the other qt arches.
The north offroad ones are not advertised on their website? though they got a pic of them on there truck, you wouldnt happend to have
a price for them? cheers again,
btw nice 110, i got crawlers instead of the mudzillas but yours look good!

[kitted110]

hey there fella i got them about a month ago i paid £135 delivered  and there alot better only prob u dont get bolts to hold them on but im sure all us landy madhead have bolts kicking about
how u get on with the crawlers ive have mudzillias for about 3months and ive heard such bad reports about them may change but not sure lol

[gti-90]

hi there, well that sounds a well good deal, will save me pennies for the next month thanks again! tbh i just bort the crawlers there two weeks ago second hand set of five like new not even 2 mill tread missing, went all the way to manchester in a rotten old hilux 14 hours drive but he was selling them very cheap. worth it i fink, they are hard though running mine at 18psi and they do get a good hud of the heather and peat n that but they could go less if it not twer beads coming off. hell of a racket on the tar gota get the stereo up. but not done anything serious in them, do your 37"s no foul the arches at the back? cheers.
