8's look killer! but they stick out a little too far imo. 7's look ace on the front. I'm sure 6's on the front and 7's on the rear will look smexy as a very smexy thing. maybe if the 6's don't poke enough a small spacer could do but then again it is the daily, and an awesome one at that.
Just needs the "Nissan Micra - Car of The Year 1993" sticker in the back window. (btw if anybody knows where i can get one of these pm me please)

It wont be getting arched. Probably. You've already drilled holes in your wings for the mirrors though... might as well keep going! Oh, by the way, where are the "ridiculous" wheels? Did you forget to upload another picture?

I don't think the stretch looks that extreme...if they were covered I don't think an untrained eye would be drawn to them. It looks brilliant, by the way.

love it, looks bloody amazing!
but would a scaffold pole really pull the arches enough to cover the wheels? ive got a similar sticky outy problem on my escort but I'm going the bolt on arches route because i didnt think pulling them would be enough

don't go scaffold pole if you want to keep it mint! tends to make the arch a but wibbly. To pull that much might be tricky. Id use the bottle jack / ply technique, but it would still be difficult. Bolt on arches FTW Looks ace

See I'm thinking that I might actually persevere with the eights now.

I'm normally a fan of bolt on arches... and if this was an SR with the fancy bumpers I'd say yes to this one having them too. But, I think, with the plastic bumpers (which I love) the arches would be overkill so I think my option would be camber shims on the rear with the 8's.

Vote for bolt on arches here. Does lowering = more camber at the rear on these? Unlikely.

Chop a wedge out of the back axle and weld it up with just enough camber to tuck the tread. Also agree that this is the coolest K11 in the country.

if you had that much poke on a polo I'd tell you off, But because it is a Micra and there just aren't enough cools ones around, Looks rudee.
Never a fan of seeing the top of the tire tread outside the arch. I'd say you need wheels with a better offset really.
The stretch is fine ! don't worry. Just carry matches and 2 cans of 'stretch' (hairspray) in the boot just in case and get on with it.
Love this car.
