Do I Need To Roll My Gaurds ?

[phenline]

hey trying to fit my old wheels that fit fine on my old skyline (94 gtst) on to my newer one (96) but after i fit i rolled out and then there was rubbing -__- the wheels are 18x 8.5(235) front and 18x 9.5 (245)rear offset is +37 all around they clear the calipers but i think the control arm was very close on the front lik few mm from the tire. All my old car had was rolled gaurds and coils this one has king springs on the front and i think it is to low with them, would puttin stock springs back on the front fix this problem? will they fit again?

If it's realy low then i don't think there is much you can do about the rubbing apart from rise it up, depending how low it is you may get away with rolling the gards.

So roll them already!

Possibly, but if they rub now, they CAN rub with higher springs, it just takes a bigger bump for it to happen.

So in summary, roll them

ok sounds good, should i just put the stock springs back in the front because it only had kings in the front not the back and then roll them as well and just wait for coils. Also anyone tell me how much it is to roll, i was told go tech9 see them any other ideas iam sure some people on the forum have there own roller or something...

usually about $50/corner.

how low was your old car compared to the new one? there is no difference in guard width/hub in S1/S2, so if it fitted your old car, there is no reason why it wont fit the new one (with the same mods of course)

wouldnt need much rolling, the 19's i got arnt to bad, only rub on full lock on rough surface....

and form memory tech9 are $45 a corner. just give me those rims back dude, they fit mine perfectly

well i think the front is a bit lower easy lik 1/2 inch but the back isnt so i think stock springs needed and then a roll. they are back with there rightfull owner i should never have sold them in the first place they are to sexy with the silver paint

soooo if anyone has some stock front springs laying around they wouldnt mind selling/giving me you know what to do ^_^

get some adjustable camber arms for the rear, that will reduce some rubbing, but possibly increase tyre wear
