Andymac183 Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 I'm wanting to go wide-arch on the Z but am struggling to find aftermarket over-arches or whatever you want to call them - can anyone recommend a supplier/product that ships to UK? If it helps, I'm leaving bumpers standard, it's just the arches I need... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docwra Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 How much wider? You could get up to about 40mm extra clearance with standard arches and a talented man on the puller/roller, if youre going much more than that you would probably need to blend bumpers in as it would look a bit weird otherwise. And why do you want to do it - bear in mind it will involve paint and some bodywork, then you need wheels to fill the arches, tyres, lows ......... not saying dont do it (I did and loved the result), just that its not to be taken lightly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andymac183 Posted January 15, 2018 Author Share Posted January 15, 2018 You got pics of yours as reference? I'm doing it purely because I love the wide look, and I like the look of arches 'added on' so wouldn't go the rolling route you describe. And yeah I'm in the market for wheels and tyres to match, I love the look of deep dish wheels too but they're proving hard to find as well!

docwra Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Mine was done in metal ......... after Id driven it into a ditch, Id never have done it otherwise My arches were probably about 80mm extended each side and the wheel specs I was running were faintly ridiculous - 18x10 ET -35 front , 11.5 ET -25 at the rear or something, wheels like that dont come up very often and spacing wheels for widearches is not acceptable ........ and it ended up white, notice how much has been added to the Chargespeed bumpers to make them fit with the arches: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetpilot Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Always a decent place to look if you want some proper fitment. http://www.jdmdistro.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where did you get the paint job done? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

docwra Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Original work was done by Will @ Streetoptions (who is a magician BTW), it was painted white by Greg @ Tradelink when I sold it top him, it might even still be there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
