    Default Rear SSL's + 18" Wheels = Rolled Guards?????

    Pretty much what the title says.
    I've got SL's all round at the moment and am looking at chucking some SSL's in the rear to (obviously) put it down lower a bit more.
    My question is will I have to roll my guards if I get this done with 18" wheels + low profile tyres?
    Is anyone here experienced in lowering VZ's?

    There is a photo in "My Ride" if people need clarification on current height, thanks heaps!

    you dont need to roll your guards, just need a couple weeks to let the springs settle before you get a wheel alignment and it wont scrape if you have the right offset wheels

    see how the wheel alignment goes first, if the cambers too far out then put one in
