et12? Hah no chance! I had escort cosworth wheels on my old fiesta, they're et25 and stuck out alot! et12 will be sitting noticeably outside of the arches. That's saying the car is high, if it's low the arches will be sat on the tyres, no question.

Would a large pull or flare on the arches not cover these?

My mate used to have a MK4 with S1 arches on it, not easy to do mind.

Can you get the rear face of the wheel machined abit?

I used to do this when I had Novas, local engineering/machining place would only charge Ł20 to skim them to get them under the arches, all depends on how much material you have to play with mind....
