Hi all,

Does anyone know of any wide bolt on front arches that would fit some 18 x 11 et 16 wheels?
 
The Rocket Bunny over fenders are +50mm... But they also look horrible

So I think the standard after that is +25mm which is going to leave a lot of tyre hanging out at 11" ET16, how come you want 11's on the front?
 
Yeah, I'm not a huge fan either.

The largest I've seen is +35mm on the front that I can "easily" get but the FEED GT3 arches are +45mm (which I plan on getting for my other FD at some point anyway).

I think I'm going to have to make my own - should be a fun experiment. I can't make the current arches I've got for them any worse as I've bolted on some plastic over fenders just to make it work as it's only for when I go on track.

It's not that I necessarily want 11's on the front, it's the fact that I've got them and I'd rather not buy a smaller set of them. They worked pretty well the last time I went on track so I basically want to tidy up the arches they sit under.

Found out that the extra width I need is about 45mm...

I have RE-A arches on mine, pretty sure they're 20mm. With a 18 x 10.5 +15 wheel and a 255/35 tyre they sit slightly out of the arches but I need an alignment doing so should be able to get them under.

They seem to fit really well already. I've got 285 30's for my wheels but there seems to be a huge difference of "over hang" for me compared to you.

A slight stretch seems to have made all the difference, might be worth dropping a few sizes if you're committed to your wheels! 25mm arches and a bit of camber be fine 🤪
