    Even with the FL arches, wow. Definitely too wide. Unless thats the look you are wanting?

    Looks too big to me. You are going to have rubbing issues! What offset are they?

    In the first picture that wheel is definitely well outside the wheel arch and not as I expected - is camber/tracking/4 wheel alignment completely wrong...?

    In the second picture rubbing may not be too much of a problem...

    but if you put on a tyre you'r stuffed!!!

    It will move in as the car lowers.
    Wheels and tyres will hang outside the arch when the car is jacked up and go further inwards as car is lowered, the lower you go the more inside the arch they go and then the camber will go and they will start to squat and go off vertical.
    Measures how far out they are from top of arch then fit your old wheel and tyre and see where it sits with the car jacked up, this will give you an idea of how much they will move in when on the ground.
