ok guys so i've finally managed to get my hands on some steels and the alloys can be gone however there are some small issues. the new rims have a mega offset i can still use the 235/70/16 tyres that i have on them there a 16 x 8j steel but there going to stick out a couple of inches.

so my main question is where can i get some arch extensions at a reasonable price. and are there any i should avoid getting.

thanks in advance as always guys

Are you looking for the sort you cut out and then stick extended arches on?

There should be something written on the wheel somewhere, to show the offset.

Measure the face on the inside of the wheel to the rim edge and then subtract 4 inches, that will be your offset (101.6mm = 4")
