Default FAO of anyone with comps!

I'm thinking of getting a set of black, 5 spoke comps but just wondered if i'll need to do loads of arch work to get them on???

.... I'm thinking of a set in 16", and 7" wide or less if they make such a thing as i had a set of RS7's that were 7.5" and they constantly rubbed and were just too wide imo!

Any help much appreciated!

Cheers for that

Did you have to do anything to the rear aches eg cut the lip back???

... or did the wheels just go straight on???

15" would look fine i think!

They make near enough any size, they will definatly do 16 x 7 and they should fit straight on, depending on what offset you get.
