Looking to beef up your pickup with a set of wide arches? Whether you’re after a more aggressive stance, better protection, or just want to stand out, wide arch kits are one of the best upgrades you can make.
But, not all wide arch kits are created equal - and not all are the same width, either.
At Brute Status, we specialise in wide arch kits that combine bold styling with everyday durability. Below, we break down the main types available, from 3M tape-on arches to our premium CAD-designed kits, along with the widths you'll typically find in each range.
Six-Piece Plastic Arches (3M Tape Fixing)
These are your go-to budget-friendly styling arches. Typical Width Added: +30mm to +50mm per side
Pros:
• Affordable – usually £165–£240
• No-drill install with 3M automotive adhesive
• Ideal for quick, visual upgrades
• Can be colour coded by you
Cons:
• Adhesive-only fit can lift over time (especially in rough conditions)

DIY modders wanting a quick style boost

Why Size Matters 😉
Whether you're aiming for a mild flare or an aggressive wide-body stance, the width of your arches will dictate:
• How wide your wheels and tyres can go
• How protected your paintwork is from mud and debris
• The overall look and feel of your truck
We offer options that range from +30mm up to +75mm+, so whether you're running standard wheels or a lifted setup with chunky tyres, we've got a kit that fits.
Why Brute Status Kits Are the Smarter Choice
- Two types to choose from: six-piece 3M kits for quick styling, or four-piece CAD kits for maximum protection
- Both can be colour coded to match your vehicle
- Designed for the UK’s most popular pickups
- Built for real-world use - not just show
Who Should Consider a Wide Arch Kit?
Wide arch kits aren’t just about looks, they’re tailored for different types of truck owners:
- If you want a quick, affordable upgrade with minimal fuss, six-piece 3M tape-on arches are perfect - especially for lease vehicles or city drivers.
- For daily drivers, overlanders, or work trucks who need a tough, secure fit with a professional finish, our CAD-designed screw-in kits deliver the best durability and style.
- If you’re building a show truck or custom rig and want maximum visual impact, fibreglass wide arches offer full customisation and seamless bodywork blending - but require professional installation and a bigger budget.
Plus, if you’re upgrading your wheels and tyres or want to protect your paint from mud and debris, wide arches are a smart investment to get the right stance and protection.
