can anyone please recommend me somewhere in melb (prefer north-east suburbs) who can roll my rear guards

stockies on the back and rims on the front are giving me the sh*ts

how big the rims lol

how big the rims lol

the rears are 17 x 9 +38 offset

Dont forget you run the risk of your paint cracking when they roll it. Thats why they'll never garantee it.

Try a different offset rims maybe?

ill take the risk, im quite happy with the rims, and cant really afford changing them over and bla bla bla

still no one has any good places in mind???

I did mine with a Jack arm

sometimes sacrifice is required for a result

No need to get someone to roll your guards.

The tools you'll need are a heat gun, jack, a yellow pages book and a friend.

Heat up your guard where you want it to be 'rolled', jack car up, put yellow pages book in between guards and tyre, lower the car, start jumping on the car with your mate to 'pull' the guard out a little. Take book out and look at work. If you did it properly, it should no longer rub.

I'm not being a dickhead or anything about what I just posted. I've done it myself because the rubbing was so bad and the technique I used (and many other people) works.

Edit: Here's a picture of how mine went out. The tyre was originally sitting on the guard, or guard was originally sitting on the tyre. I used a pretty think book and this is how it turned out. The gap is too big now.

how thin [or thick(not sure of your typo)] was ur book exactly?? was it one of these little sh*tty yellow pages??

if i do consider doin this i dont wanna screw it up

Bring it to most panel shops - they will do it, should cost around $50.00 a guard. Get it done right...

i have a guard roller you can borrow or we can do it for $50 per corner

$50 a corner....thats cheaper than I have been quoted elsewhere, and I have to travel miles to get there..what hours are you guys available?

how much do you charge to borrow it?

and after it screws my paint and body work, do I get the hook ups with a reputable pannel shop that does good work for cash? LOL

I first off used that sized book, but once I finished, it still rubbed so I tried it again with an extra book in between the gap, now it's too big...

Best thing to do would be to get a guard roller, but if you can't wait, the newspaper roll technique works and it doesn't crack your paint (it didn't on mine).

paint will only crack/peel if the guards arent heated properly...

best i got quoted was $80 for the rears

i'm just gonna heat em up and push em in with my hands

i rolled my gaurds with a steel pipe

put the pipe in between the tyre an gaurd, depending on how much u want it rolled depends on the angle you put the pipe on (slightly=more horizontal heavy=more vertical)

start from one side of the tyre an fit the pipe inbetween the gaurg an tyre, the get a mate to push ur car forward, which then the pipe will move along with the tyre which then you push down to get your gaurd the way u like it...

if your not keen, habib above me has a good price..

Yep, I did this with my rear guards. Just make sure you've got a solid pole. I crushed 2 poles out of 4 trying to roll/flare my rear guards.

when using the pole technique.... do you guys first beat the lip flat against the guard??
