      Smile TO WIDE ARCH OR NOT TO WIDE ARCH!! heeelllpppp!!!

      hey ive just litrly put the foam on as a guide to see what it would roughly look like then fiberglass over the mould once its been shaped up properly to the correct size ect.. but im not sure..
      im in 2 minds... want a 2nd.. well as many opinions as i can get.. i feeel like my kalos is just going to look so skinny without ti though... but i dont wana go over the top and my car look like some retard went nuts with fiberglass on it..
      uploadin a few pics..
      comments please guysss all the help u giv will b appriciated.. honest opinionsss plsss

      from near the filler cap the kalos body arches out abit.. and what i intend to do is follow that line so its all flush and blends in like its part of the car and not something i randomly stuck on..

      you are planning to put wheel spacers in right, to match up with the flare.

      i bet you could get them out that far.. and just reshape the metal deflection..

      i am running 10mm offset 7" wheels in the back.

      You may need to look into upgrading your brakes with wheels that big. I don't know what size you're going with exactly, but they just look like they will be heavy...

      yeppp gona do a similar conversion like xiogary did
      and rear brk disc conversion
      cant hav skinny small calipers like the stok ones with huge rims.. im looking for about 18"ish..
      but im worried becuase once i change the engine to the astra vxr one im gona be shreding rubber every day LOL.. so tyrs r gna b costin me allooott!
      also i dont know too uch about wheels and tyrs..
      if i get the wheels balanced and alligned once this has all been fitted ie brk conversion new engine and the big heavy wheels... will i get alot of wobble with the wheels still. becuase i remember with my old 18" chromes the wheels would wobbl loaads at speed... and when id drift the nuts would start coming undone :\
