04 VZ SS / 07 VE SS
Hi, l have a 04 VZ SS sedan, l have had it lowered super lows at the front and ultra lows at the back. Was looking at Versus
20 8.5 +42 front
20 9.5 +45 back
The tyre shop l rang said that they will not fit unless l get the guards rolled and that not going to be cheap.
So l would like to no what sizes am l able to fit with out spending big dollars on the guards did want to have them staggered.

Your prepared to spend big money on wheels and tyres but don't want to spend a couple of hundred getting the guards rolled.
If you want to fit big staggered rims/tyres then you need to get the guards rolled, your mad not to.
Fronts should be ok but remember if you hit a bump at speed while turning. the front tyres could catch the inner lip and bend it down, seen plenty of cabs with this scenario from fitting too taller tyres.
I/ve got 8.5"x19" on +40 with 245/35 at the rear with HSv springs, guards rolled and they still rub a little on big dips at speed.

l thought it would cost a lot of money to get the guards rolled. Panel beaters are not cheap
l do not no any one else who would do it theres not much chance of going to a tyre shop to
get it done

I paid $200 to get mine rolled. I'm told most tyre shops will do it but I found a Mobile machanic with a good rep to do mine.

It's not that much work. 9.5s with 255 tyres n a guard roll probably 50P offset atleast. There's a guy on street commodore's forum now with a blue L67 VY Calais with pentagons on geniune 20x9.5s with 57P offset. Have a look for that

VY/VZ's with VE 9.5" 57P usaually need a 5-8mm spacer to push the wheel outward otherwise the tyre rubs the inner part of the wheel well.

I charge 160 for all 4 gaurds rolled, if you were located in Melbourne id do them for you but I'm on crutches and my left hand doesn't work due to nerve damage (passenger in a terrible car accident in jan)

Try Brissy or the GC there's a few shops down here on the coast that can sort you out like a package deal. Shops do charge any where from $50-80 per corner but just work out a deal.Also if your a bit of a wreckless like me you can DIY it by buying a guard roller of flea bay and a heat gun it works. Just be careful and blame yourself if it goes to custard as you might crack your paint if you rush it.
