    hi there. I have 7 x 15in rims on 195/50/15s et 20. My MOT is coming up and i have been told by a few people including designa dubs that if the wheel sticks out past the arch it can fail [:^(] They stick out a little with the brembos on now. Do you think i will need G60 arches front and rear? I dont want them to look lost in the arches if the G60s are hooge.

    I cant remeber how large the G60 arches are?
    any suggestions? :)

    cheers
    mike

    hey stef cheers for the offer m8 but ive sorted it out today! the car has passed ;)
    do them G60 wheels fit over the brembos then? the compomotive rims dont catch at all on the front. I havent put them on the back but i suspect they are gunna catch so im gunna get greg to roll the back ones and whack sum G60 arches on all round.

    cheers

    If your wheel specs really what you say they are you have nothing to worry about. I'm running the same set up as you and mine are fine.
