you could fit those from the 'M' car (originally with 415 wheel option). However if you don't have the wheels to match (ie. sticking out a bit more) it won't look right....

Brucey could be right on the 415mm rims sticking a little further out or maybe they are just another of the multitude of options offered to European buyers. Actually, the M635 wheel arches (usually painted to match body color) do not stick out much further the the normal 635 flare/arch. I have a set of brand new-in-box m635 wheels arches but I am still debating whether they will add much additional flare to the car so I haven't installed them.

Do let us know if they become surplus to your requirements. I've got a set of 8x17 M5 alloys sitting here.... :wink:

I ran my 1982 635 (without wheelarch extensions) with the 415 TRX's and it looked perfectly ok. The other thing with arch extensions is that I think there are subtle differences between the arches for the chrome bumper cars and those for the later Euro/US bumper models - the bumper and trim heights are margionally different leading to differences with the arches.

When I get my style 32's back from the refurbisher (this week :D :D ) they or the style 5's currently on my M635 will go on the 635 - I'llhave to try and post some pics of those 9inch 255 rears without arch extensions :shock:

HTH,
