Pete Posted March 2, 2003 Share Posted March 2, 2003 Depend what you mean by 'go over' If you put Cossie arches on them wheels I would expect them to be pretty much flush with the wheel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormin_1.6_auto_WRC Posted March 3, 2003 Share Posted March 3, 2003 depends on who you get em from, mine are from mc rallying and they're a good inch wider at each side then others ive parked up against. Wide archs are great but jesus im going to need 25 mm of spaercs to make em flush or 8 inch wide wheels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cossie rep Posted March 3, 2003 Share Posted March 3, 2003 right firstly to get the arches flush with your gti skirts, thet will need a lot of work need doing as the bottom of the arch sticks out a fair bit and wont line up with the skirt properly. What is the offset of your wheels because you may need the rear arch rolled back to get them safely into the arch with it hitting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sime73 Posted March 3, 2003 Author Share Posted March 3, 2003 the offset is et20. they was supposed to be off a escort cossie. the back arch isnt too much of a problem (i hope) but its going in the shop tommorow so he'll see wats wat.its just the front arch wats the problem but if he cant do anything with it i'll get some cossie fronts and let him work on them to fit them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sortedford Posted March 3, 2003 Share Posted March 3, 2003 i have seen before cossie front arches, but then youll need the skirts, u can get them that go into the car at the rear, givin the impression of wide rear arches without haveing them. Altho mate i still reccon them arches Pelles has would look brill on your motor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sime73 Posted March 4, 2003 Author Share Posted March 4, 2003 yeah, i just had a look but i dont think they would be wide enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Ells Posted March 4, 2003 Share Posted March 4, 2003 Leave the back it looks fine, try and get the front arches blown out at the top. Go to a body shop and ask them what they can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sime73 Posted March 4, 2003 Author Share Posted March 4, 2003 its in there now, he can sort the back ok but he said id need cossie arches at the front so hes got a ''bit more to play with'' (no comments wax) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
