Arches with new wheels and the NCT

Postby rayray » Thu Feb 02, 2012 5:56 pm

Hi all,

I have a 97 Mini (rover) cooper with standard arches fitted with minilite 10x6 on Yoko tires and it managed to fail the NCT because the front wheels were sticking out too much past the arch. The back two were fine.

I have a set of replica ABS plastic W&P arches to go on but i'm wondering does anyone know if it'll pass on them? What is the rule on the arches?

Thanks

It has to cover the Tyres. The Tyres can't be outside the arches for the NCT ;)

Cheers for that.
