Thanks Spitz, for the record, it's modelled after Lennon's Rolls Royce, we call it the LeMon's Wols Woyce...

They are practically twins!

Thanks swindrum.  It seems that I need the Austin Mini Group 5 Arch Narrow 3 Inch.  Any thought on that?

Hello, I've currently 10x6 rims and the tires are not completely covered by the GAW117 flares.  Are there flares of the same kind than the ones I've but wider?  Will they be using the holes than my current ones?  Do you have any pictures of these wider flares installed on a Mini? Thanks for your advice.
