I want flares. big fiddle sticks off miglia style carbon fibre flares. I want to keep 10" wheels though. Whats the best offset 10x6 wheels I can get that may fill out these flares? At the moment I have contessas, 10x5 I guess, which just poke out from under the standard black plastic (innocenti?) flares.

I was thinking some of those re-pro Cooper S style alloys from Japan or UK.. would love some force racing or MB split rims but dont think the budget will stretch that far...

Is anyone here running big flares with 10" rims?

Miglia arches are WIDER than sportspack arches, but only by 1/2 inch or so.

13x6's don't quite sit level with sportspacks; they need spacers.

So to run your fiddle stick miglia flares, you'd need some hefty spacers with 10x6s.

Is this a track car?

It'll become highly illegal if you space your wheels out, even with 10x6's it may be a little over.

put 10x7 force racing or mb splits on, they look spot on with miglia flares
