rolling guards

[blaze]

hey all just wanted to know has any1 here rolled there guards? ive got new 19s and got damn low springs (3.5" drop) arriving soon in the mail. my car is IRS and is sitting on super lows and it looks like if it goes any lower its going to scrub. how much does rolling cost? i only want the back two wheel arches done, and where can i take them to be done? thanks

you can do it yourself with a hammer and a dolly. pretty simple task. but i've noticed with IRS, the wheels tilt inwards a long way when lowered.. probably wont be a problem with scrubbing. my 20s scrub a bit, but not on the sides, they hit the top.

i was thinking of just grinding it either with an angle grinder or die grinder, what do u mean by a dolly?

cutting/grinding the gards will give you a sharp edge cutting your tyers if the catch
A dolly is a piece of steel you put on the outer sideof the gard with a rag in between them it will give you a soild backing so when you tap the lip of your gard up it wont bend the outer surface of the gard watch you paint as bending the lip 90deg will most certainly crack the paint

i got my guards rolled by the tyre factory in Sunshine it cost me $100 and they did a good job but they wont garuntee that they wont damage the 1/4 panels. if you are goin to tap it in with hammer and dolly it sometimes helps to heat up the edge you are striking.

why did you get tyre factory to do it? you got everything you need to do it yourself

i just get a grinder and put little slices along the inside of every inch or so of the lip then hammer them up against the inner guard. works a treat.

i used a jack handle on top of the tyre and then lowered the car down on to it and slowly rolled the car forward and back with the jack handle between the tyre and guard. you end up with a nice smooth roll and it even clearence to the tyre
