Hi all I'm needing some help I have just fitted 13x7 wheels and sportspack fibreglass arches. I'm having trouble with getting clearance at the front edge and rear edge. I have about 50mm clearance at the top of tyre to flare.any suggestions? |

Did you trim the guards as per the sportpack template? http://www.minispares.com/article/Techn ... g-template |

Strange that they hit the front and rear of the arch. I have fibreglass arches and 13x7 wheels and they are incredibly tight at the front, but fine for clearance at the back. What brakes to you have Ricksmini? Any photos of the installed arch? |

Tyres are a 175/50. They have clearance at the rear justbnot a great deal at the front. Less then 5mm. I'd put a photo up but how do you put them up from an iPhone? |

If they touch at front, put a spacer or two in front sub frame mount. It might even have one in there, just add to it or make new ones. Mine had about 12-13 mm steel ones from new, i replaced them with aluminium ones. The 50 grams I saved equated to 0.0012 kph better top speed. ![]() |
