My 18X9.5 + 22 have just arrived!

Will get the guards rolled and tyres fitted this week.

Then I will have some photos for you broad minded persons

Predictions - Nice fitment on front, notsoflush on rears. 10mm spacers bro

[Manuel Kasko]

Fitted well on hectics car so we will see.

So getting the guards rolled

The guy just asked me how much they needed to be rolled. From my understanding it's just that inside lip part rolled up flush? Or am I missing something

Yeah, it's just a lip on the inside of your guard that needs to be pushed up to take off the sharp edge. He may be an idiot and thinks you mean flare? If he doesn't know what rolling is, goto someone else..

Im a major noob to wheels guys im upgrading to a series 3 R33 GTR soon and CBF reading through the 107 pages lol but basically the below link are the rims im looking to buy im after these in 18x10 - 10.5" if i can get them just wondering if anybody can tell me what offset i would need to get 275-285s under the ass without stupid camber or rolling guards etc they also need to clear my alcon brakes which are 315mm rear rotors and 4 spot calipers and and fronts are 356mm rotors with BIG 4 spot calipers im after diiiiiiiish also Is this possible?

Based on what exactly?

Kasko it's going to look tits brah

[Manuel Kasko]

Size: 18inch

Width: 9.5inch

Offset: +22

Modifications: Backs were found to be already rolled and the fronts need a roll.

Running with BC BR coilovers so have some good camber to keep them in.

[Manuel Kasko]

Can you DIY roll that lip up?

If someone knows just pm me

They want $50 a lip

[Frosty]

^ sure can and u can do an awesome job to if you take ur time at it

- Roll it with a round bar on the tyre! Do that by hamd and not with motion of the car or ull fu** the guard

- Can hammer it flat while bracing with ur hand on the outerside of the guard (obviously use a panel beaters hammer.....hard plastic ones)

Thats just some of the ways

[Manuel Kasko]

I honestly might just do that

Seriously $50 per side and they say they might crack the paint anyways.

Unless they are quoting $50 thinking I want them pumped out..? Sounds a bit extreme for just a little lip rolled up

[Frosty]

Nah thats about right some people charge $75 a side however just for a roll on inside should not crack paint specially if they know what they are doin

Take some time and buy 5$ hammer n do it properly yourself massaging the inner lip flat!

You will appreciate it more and get a bit of experience

On the fronts make sure you take out the guard liner and tabs etc before hitting it

[Manuel Kasko]

Cheers for all the info frosty.

Might go buy one of these plastic hammers today and have a smash at it.

May as well just leave the liner out if its hitting that anyways.

[Frosty]

yeah take it out... i dont run them on any of my cars lol

just be sure when you are hitting the guard that you brace with your hand on the outsite of the guard where you are hitting and you will be sweet just work slowly around until you have the desired affect you want

[copycutter]

What camber are you running up front kasko (just upper camber arms)? Did you remove the guard liners due to scrubbing or just as a precaution?

[Manuel Kasko]

Stock arms just lowered with coilovers which gave them some camber. Will be going in for a wheel alignment after this weekend and I can get exact figures.

Fronts I am going to remove the liner and roll them because of scrubbing

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

I have a guard roller, but I have also done it with a baseball bat over the tyre.

you can even just raise the car, jam a phone book in there and lower it again slowly and let it sit... that's how we did bombtrack's 34 front guards.

just need to have a heatgun for all methods

[B-rice]

What about pliers with rubber tip ends do it bit by bit after heating up the guard.also do you have to take the guard lining off forever because would prefer not to do it

[Frosty]

heating up the guards is mainly to soften the paint to stop it from cracking on rolling

[Manuel Kasko]

Will a hair dryer suffice?
