Rubbing Guard Bad
Hey peoples....
I just got some nice 19inch ROH Vapor rims on my car...yay!
And not the LHS rear is rubbing like a mofo! not "yay!"
I went to a panel beater and he is going to roll the guard for me this coming tuesday...
My concern is what happens if i still get rubbing after the guard is rolled?
What are my options other than raising my car or gettin different rims..?

i got the same wheels on my VT with SL springs and I have still a little clearance so my tyres doesn't rub on the guard... strange
edit* I just looked at a pic of your VX damn them springs are low and probably why they are rubbing against your guards

Yeah....im hoping that rolling the guard will solve my problem...
Caus on the other side the rim can be tucking and its still not rubbing!
Stupid holden irs diff offset!
As much as i love my holdens...the holden rear end is the biggest screw up of all time....
Grrrr!

lol, at least with the old solid diffs you can buy an adjusterable panhard rod to sovle this problem. I had a VL with 17's with SL it loved to scrap against the rear tyres if I had anyone else in the car with me.Originally Posted by Jesterarts

There is nothing wrong with Holden diff design.It's just some people have their heads so far up their asses they fail to see that if you lower your car to that extreme,your effectively changing the dynamics of the car.I've seen your car,nice,but too low.We all live and learn and trial and error plays a big part,looks are'nt everything.

Nah...there is something wrong with the holden rear end...
Every other car manufacturer managed to get it right....including ford...
Jst holden sorta made a compromise..
Neways,
Rolled the guard myself today with a mate...
An hour job with a hammer...looked fine....
THen we got over excited and screwed up abit...
Car is fully drivable now though... :P

To a degree you are right in relation to the comparison to other cars diff design,but,if you lower too much then scrubbing(especially with rear seat passengers)becomes a real issue.

Yeah i know...the way i have it lowered is pretty extreme...
But i figure...u only live once, you may aswell live it the way u want...
Its not like im gonna be running around modifiing the family car in the future...
So i figure i should get all those "holden boy" dreams outta the way now...
Still yet to see what my car has to say to the idea of being full... :P
