Hi All,
Just wondering if anyone has some pictures of some 10 x 6 ultralites for a roundie with standard flares. I am trying to show someome what they are in for if they choose this combination as i am sure they will well and truly be sticking out.

Thank you,
Brian

I had them on my GT, that had those horrible plastic screw on flares (innocenti i think they're called). These are about the same width as the cooper s factory flairs.

They stuck WAY out past the flairs and the fronts couldnt turn without hitting the guards.

I bought group 2 flairs (i think) from mini spares and had to modify the front guards to fit. I think they are 2 1/2inch wide from memory

If you want some pics of them on my cluby with the plastic flairs I can post some?

Yes, I was pretty sure these things will be hanging out serverely, just trying prevent an old mate from finding out to late that these wheels may look great but really wont suit a roundie.

Brenton your pics would be goodas well as any roundie pics . thank you

I run them on my race car with the wet tires on them 165's. they dont rub at all and the guards arent modified. Dont think there is any problem. Was your car really low?? Find someone on here your mate can borrow the wheels off and fit them up to see for himself. If he is in QLD he can try mine.

But were they ultralights? These Have a very different offset to say 10x 6 mambas.

Here are mine, front has discs and rears stepped drums, hydro suspension.
