Guard Rolling

[Konrad]

Can anyone recommend a cheap place to get guards rolled?? I just put new tyres on my car and got a wheel align, it now scrubs like crazy, i didn't go up a size, had 265/35 falkens and now have dodgy 265/35 nexxens... Its rubbing on the inner half of the guard lip, the thing is i think i could solve the problem myself with the trusty angle grinder, is this a good idea? (like i'm only cutting the lip of the guard not the visible part of the guard itself).. although i imagine that lip must add quite a bit of strength to the panel.

Dont cut it youself, the angle grinder could possibly leave some sharp edges.

Hit a hole when turning and it'll slice through that tyre.

If you split the loot with me 50/50 ill roll the guards for you while you do the job...

Nah any good wheel shop will do it for you. Most will heat your panels slightlly to stop cracking...

I suggest Superior tyre or Jaxx at Apsley whcih are side by side also...

hmm thanks guys.

Good point about the grinder option, i'll rule that out, only other idea is if i could figure out a way of 'pinching' the lip so it sits higher up, without buckling the guard.

Guess its better to get a proper rolling, col i suggest an oceans 11 style heist on the treasury or maybe the italian job is better- use 3 r33's and call it the japanese job lol

be careful where you go. my dad got his guards rolled at jax and they did a crap job. they cracked the paint, if you look closely the guards are unevenly rolled & inside the wheel arch its all messy where the metal has been pushed back. When my dad complained about it they didnt care because they had already got his money from the new 19's he just bought.

my paint cracked and camerons touched it up for me for the price i paid

it was handy that they did the original spray job, so they had the colour ready to roll

hey, my rear tyres were being cut by the guards before i rolled them (had about 300kg worth of stuff in the boot, and 4 passengers, on stock suspension, so it was sagging a farkload) so i pulled the rear wheels off, bashed the inner lip of the guard up flush on the inside (even flared the guards a tiny bit) and it turned out fine!!!!! wouldn't recommend it on a skyline though

mind you, this is in the middle of nowhere (Torbanlea, which is halfway between Maryborough and Bundaberg)
