Does anybody know if the 75mm 5 Door Arches can be removed and replaced with the 50mm 5 Door Arches as a straight swap? Is the footprint and screw hole spacing the same?

I've removed my 35mm spacers and want to reduce the wheel arches by a similar amount.

I've tried emailing Flatdog three times - waited two weeks for a reply. Phone constantly engaged. They do seem to be a "triffle tardy" in communicating with customers. anybody would think I want to get a free set but I don't - I want to pay £140 for a set.

If I can get a definate "Yes" they will fit then I'll buy a set via the internet to avoid wasting my time!!
 
Yes they are both the same, i've got the 75mm ones from paddocks, but believe that the 55mm are the same. its only the distance they stick out thats different

Many thanks. I'm feeling very lonely. Can't get through to Paddocks on the phone and they are ignoring my emails too. Even more determined now!!

I bought some 75mm flexi arches for my disco, then thought they would be a bit to wide, so swapped them for my mates 50mm ones as he had just fitted some bigger tyres. when we took the 50mm ones off and fitted the 75mm ones all the original screw holes lined up, so I would think it would work the other way round.:drum:
