What Do U Guyz Mean When You Say You Are "rolling Your Gaurds"?

[SL33K]

I dont know much bout modifications and i dont understand what it means.

Can some one give me a simple explanation?

Rolling your guards means to allow more room under the guard to allow your to fit wider wheels.

Usually used when you lower a car and if you want to fill out your guards with wide wheels but don't want the tyres to scrub against the guard.

Also it looks great!

Some ppl just roll the lip of the guard, some roll it just to fit wider wheels, some ppl roll / pump / bolt on flared guards.

Depends on how wide the wheels is and what look you are going for.

and how do they do that? do they have to take it to panal beaters? or can do it at home?

panel beaters are your best bet, if an amature tries to do it without a heatgun and proper attention to how metal expands/contracts and the paint sitting on it, it can lead to chipping, peeling and cracking.

rolling can be any one of these as its quite a generic term, this is how I call them... other people refer to totally different things, as there's not standard for this.

you can lip a guard, which is to fold the metal lip that sits parallel to the surface of the tyre in, to create a smooth metal surface that won't shred the tyre if the wheel hits it.

you can pump the guard, which is where you rework the metal in the guard to be wider through the use of sheet metal forming methods

you can flare the guard, where you pull the metal lip out (instead of folding it back up when you lip it) to again give you more clearance, avoid the lip cutting the tyre and to enable you to run a wider wheel/track.
