Guard Rolling
I have a VT Calais with superlows currently using stockies as the
VE SSV 19's with 245/35/19 tyres scrub quite badly up the back.
Has anyone here utilised Protek Tyres & Wheels to get their guards rolled?
Interested to know if they are the place to do the work.
Also if you can reccomend any other local places in Sth East Suburbs of Melbourne.
Much appreciated,
Cheers,
VT97Calais

^^^ you have a VXII, he has a VT S1... your rear suspension if upgraded from his.
That would be the difference... slightly better geometry in the back...
Hope that clears that us.
In regard to the rolling of guards...
See how much a guard roller is... might be worth while getting one and doing it yourself... then selling of the roller... ?

I need to get mine done as i just got 20"s on my 97 Vt with pedders super lows.
I got quoted $80 each guard!
So if anyone has found a place that does a good job in the S.E. suburbs or Melbourne then hit us up!

Most panel beaters will do it... thought they won't garantee that they won't crack the paint.
