You are sticking 9" rear wheels on a 7 ??

I have 205 /13 on 7" rims, and they are to wide for such a light car

only my pennys worth

Are those the MLs I sold you a while back I managed to buy some old Tiger rear arches off eBay a while ago, they are about 13inch wide and just cover my alloys and tyres, I'll try and get a picture for you later mate. Keep a look out for them or maybe get them directly from Tiger.

Yes, the wheels are probably too wide, but they look great. I'm not planning to race or sprint. They are just for looks.
Mark, they are the ones you sold me. A picture would be welcome.
So 13 inch arches could be what I need.

How quickly do you need them for?

I'll have a pair of wide rear wings for sale within a fortnight...

Cheers,
Steve

That sounds interesting. Do you have pictures? Thanks.
I'm not in any hurry. I've been building for about 4 years now!

My 13inch wide Tiger ones, they are not fitted and sit a little further in when touching the chassis properly, but you get the idea.
