Guard rolling

[HAZZA-VN]

Ok I'm looking at getting some 9inch wide alloys for the rear of my car, i have about 2/3mm between my wheels and the guard on the back as it is,

Some people have told me that you can not get a vn's rear guards rolled is this right??? a mate of mine did his but the car had a full respray so it didnt affect the paint,

Is it possible to do without stuffing my paint up

[Kruza]

u can do it urself, but its easier to use a hair-dryer to heat the paint so it doesnt crack when bendin the guard...

u should roll the inside guard as well as the outside lip, so that it doesnt scrub on any point of contact..

I would use a heat gun rather than a hair dryer... But yes its easy enough. Suspension places will charge about $60 a corner depending on where you go.

Some people are on crack....... what reason did they say VN's cant be rolled?? Cus I had no problem getting them done............

[blackpearl]

i konw your from adelaide goof it say it in you location but where?

[HAZZA-VN]

South of adelaide, and norti a couple of mates with vn's said they tryed getting theres done by the guy that comes around and does it and apparently he doesn't do them because theres a good chance of cracking the paint

[hakhawk]

never cracked the paint on mine, and that was with hammer and block of wood. actually,i think i cracked a bit towards the end, as i was rushing.

[blackpearl]

But what would we know, we don't work at Beaurepairs.
Sunshine, if you have to ask if you can roll the guards on a VN you don't have the right to call someone a doofas that knows........it won't fit.
I have a 8" wide rim with a 235 profile tyre, rolled guards and ultralows.......there is no way a 9" wide rim with a legal width and load rating tyre will fit without massaging the inner guard.

[1991_Vn2nV]

Most wheel and tyre joints will roll guards. Get a job at a better wheel and tyre joint than Beaurepaires and they'll do it for ya

a 235,40R18 will still go on an 9inch rim nicely mate, i have 17,8.5s on it for a couple of weeks, and they where fine no probs at all, And thanks NV I'm actually considering looking for a new job so if you no of any that are going

Stretched though. Like I said, good luck fitting them unless you like the 4x4 look.
