Hi Guys,

Just confused about the difference between guard and lip rolling. What exactly is the difference? I tried looking at pics they all look the same. I have trouble with my wheels/tyre scraping the guard/fender when i hit a deep ditch. This is not a major issue. Also when i enter/exit my drive way, the front tyres scrapes my guard my now on my passenger side, the guard is pushed out.

How can i fix this problem without any scraping issues when entering and exiting from driveways? I want my guard just to sit on top of my wheels without scraping full lock and entering/exiting driveways

Thanks for the help.

take a close up shot of your wheel space.. also what are the spec's on your wheels..

Lip Rolling is basically "folding up" the lip under your guard.. this eliminates that lip sticking out causing your tyre to rub.. however if you're wheels stick out under the actual guard.. you're gonna want to look at guard flaring of some sort..

When you're car is turning.. is it rubbing on the guard or another part in the car.. depending on wheel fitment it may be rubbing on another part under the car at full lock.. hence the pics and wheel size you have..

rolled or lipped is basically the same if im not mistaken.

feel under ur guards if there is like a |_ kinda feel they arent rolled get them rolled u should be fine. if they are rolled already it will be quite flat | kinda like that.

a flare is when u pull out the lip i dont think you'll need that.

agree with julz search.
