On the Hume HWY. Between Bell Str. and Mohoney's Rd. on the left as you are heading outbound (Campbellfield).

I advise NOT to do it, as any rolling of gaurds can crack the paint. May not happen straight away, but may happen later on. No-one gives a garantee against cracking of paint around the gaurds.

I have 19" rims with 275/30/19(rear) - 245/35/19(front) rubber and still have not needed to roll my gaurds.

Donnellan's dwon in Box Hill got the tools. But try the one near to the City, I can't remember the suburb. Find Steve, he's the best roller I know of in Melbourne.

Al....do you have your car lowered at all.

I have gtst r32 with 255's on the rear they rub just on the edge of the lip...

Maybe I just have the car a touch too low...its not really low though....

I have TEIN height and damper adjustable suspension. The car is lowered but not excessively, and the struts are fairly stiff (not much travell, on softest setting). The car would look alot meaner if lowered alot more, but i would then be required to roll the gaurds, and have to worry about speed humps, gutters, driveways, etc., which i could live without the hassle.

Keeping in mind that the rims are 19's. When i look at the gaurd from wheel hight, the wheel arche sits at the same point as the top of the tyre. This is possible a the rim is not flush or sticking out of the gaurds and the rubber curves in a little from the outside walls. I am unable to stick me finger between the gaurds and the rubber .

Well thats lower than mine by a tiny bit....I just need them rolled like 2mm or so....I might give it a go...only on the back...I was going to get them done properly...$600 so if the rolling doesnt work then I'll go ahead with the proper job...

Thanks...
