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? |

RE: looking too wide, it's down to your wheel width, offset and tire choice.
I wanted wide and went with Ronal 8s and 9s. The 8s are 10.6 offset, just like the 911 Fuchs 8". The 9s are 13 vs the Fuchs 9 at 15. Meaning, in the rear, I'm 2mm wider per side. No spacers, Carrera rotors, Boxster (base, not S) calipers on all 4 corners. My car does look wide, just like I wanted. If this look isn't what you're after, run 7s and 8s, 205/225 and use spacers that give you the look you do want. Just my $0.02. Attached thumbnail(s)
