I'm starting a GT project and need to source a set of steel GT wheel arches.
I've seen that Dansk and Restoration design have them, but is there difference in size, shape and fitting? I've seen some description that Dansk ones can accept up to 9J in width, but I do not want my car to look to wide. Anyone have experience with both vendors parts? |

I am planning on Minilites 7X15 front & 8X15 rear with 1" spacers on the front. Tires will be Michelin TB15 18/60R15 front & 23/62R15 rear.

Should be fine. I have some wood templates that Rory made. It helps you bend the lip into a U shape instead of just trimming it short. I’ll post pics. |
