| Post subject: | wheels/flares combo - need help |
hey guys, need to get some new wheels for my clubby 
I'm thinking these 10x6 minisport ultralite's sound pretty good - http://www.minisport.com/mini-spare-par ... _Dish.html Just not sure what flares would suit these. Obviously it would have to be something quite wide. I was thinking sportspack flares - does anyone have pics of these with 10 inch wheels? Not sure if the wheel would get 'lost' in there, so to speak. Any suggestions/pictures would be most welcome... |

Are those cheaper all the way from the UK? |

yep - the exchange rate makes them insanely cheap compared to local prices |

i can't reply definitively since i don't know the offsets of the wheel you're after, but i have 10x6 wheels and they are *just* covered by those cheap black plastic flares |

i'm quite sure they are these flars; the 1.75" one. i will measure them tonight. http://www.minisport.com.au/prod497.htm they look like this on the car; 
these are the 10x6 wheels i have, will have to compare 'dish' to see if it approximates the dimensions of yours 
the wheels stick out this much 
and are just covered nicely by the flares 
hope that helps! |

So what's the price in AUD for a full set landed with rubber. Would they fit under Barney's flares?

interesting, the minisport site seems to reccomend the group 2 race arches for 6 inch wheels, being 3.5" wide. The group 2 rally wheels which are only 1.75" wide like yours are only reccomened for 5 inch wheels. I might just give them a go - i can always get spacers if the wheels dont fill them out enough |

The group 2 rally wheels which are only 1.75" wide like yours are only reccomened for 5 inch wheels. i would say they are recommending the 2" flares in order to cover all bases - whether the person has spaced drums, which offset wheel they are using, how anal the RTA inspector is  ...
in my case the el cheapo 1.75" flares suit perfectly (for my 6" wheels at least) but it only takes a centimetre of difference in offset/spacer/etc to ruin it i guess? |

So are these 10 x 6 deep dishes going to bolt straight onto Barney or should I expect suspension fouling? Does anyone have pics running these wheels? Evan |

Ive got 10X6 revolutions on my "S" with standard flares and yes they do stick out but not by much. |
