Re: Extended wheel arches
There bushwacker arches, depending on the spec of your anus you'll probably find something like that to wide. The majority just go for standard defender arches, cut the back off em and screw or rivet em on. Perfect width and look pretty good to. I've got some on mine although I'm running sammy axles with 32mm spacers and off set wheels so my wheels do stick out a bit still.

Re: Extended wheel arches
I've got a set of bushwacker arches down my yard. There to wide for mine in my opinion. I like the arches to be in line with the edge of the tyres anything more makes it look pants. I've got plans to do away with my front wings this summer so I'll be doing away with my defender arches.

Re: Extended wheel arches
Well at the moment I'm running sammy axles with 32mm spacers, offset wheel with 31 12.5's on, but on a re-build and thinking of changing the axles. Been checking out the defender ones but thought they might not be wide enough.
Would you be tempted to sell those arches in your yard?

Re: Extended wheel arches
I've managed to dig em out with great difficulty lol, but I'm afraid one of them has been cut for some reason !!
