Hi everyone,
I'm looking at mini sport mamba rims, will be fitting coopers discs to front and spaced drums to rear. They have a 5 and a deep dish 6 inch version, what flare size would I need for either of these options in inches?
Cheers,
Steve

Hi Steve,
Here is a pic of my project with 5x10 new Mambas, with the wide MKII flares.

Just what I needed, thanks for that. Do you know if the six inch would sit out an inch further or are they a different offset? Looks like the 5 inch are good covered by 2.5 inch flares :-)

5x10 offset 0
6x10 offset -7. Sticks out an extra 20mm or so
