Disco 1 wheel arch extentions

ok guys so i've finally managed to get my hands on some steels and the alloys can be gone however there are some small issues. the new rims have a mega offset i can still use the 235/70/16 tyres that i have on them there a 16 x 8j steel but there going to stick out a couple of inches.

so my main question is where can i get some arch extensions at a reasonable price. and are there any i should avoid getting.

thanks in advance as always guys

where you too im interested. basically as i said in OP i need to get rid of the alloys and put on the steels but the offset puts them about 2 inch out so need to extend to keep the mot station and police happy lol

what wheels did you get that are 2 inches further outboard than the originals?

all i can tell you is there steels and 16 x 8j anything more than that i dont know they we given to me (free) so i accepted given the alloys are not only crap but no good for what i do most weeks. i can put up a few pics if you want

So where did the 2 inch outboard figure come from?

putting an empty (tyre free) rim on the car. without tyre there is about an inch over hang so i figure with tyre thats going to be 2 at least!

Is the wheel the right way around?

There should be something written on the wheel somewhere, to show the offset.

16x8j 16b 01 DOT thats the only markings.

I'm in Stapleford Nottingham. I can post but prefer collection so buyer is happy with them

Measure the face on the inside of the wheel to the rim edge and then subtract 4 inches, that will be your offset (101.6mm = 4")

15x10j ET-32 sticks out about 2 inches on a D1. On a D2 its about 3 inches
