Duncan Posted August 14, 2002 Share Posted August 14, 2002 Has anyone had their guards rolled, or lipped, or whatever its called? I got a bit too greedy and got 265 (10.5inch ) for the new rear tyres, and they have turned out to be too close for comfort. I need to get this sorted before the track day on Saturday. Can anyone recommend where I can get this done? Anything to watch out for? Approx prices?

PranK Posted August 14, 2002 Share Posted August 14, 2002 Duncan, I have 265's on mine and they haven't been a problem... I have the guards rolled on my Pulsar, it chipped a bit of the paint and also caused a lot of the strength to go around the panels (they bent easily). Yeah, approx $40 a corner.

Morgs Posted August 14, 2002 Share Posted August 14, 2002 Gotta watch for a bit of surface rust over time... that only occur when it isnt done properly? Also that it can ripple the rear quarter panels? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/2602-rolling/#findComment-47283 Share on other sites More sharing options...

XrSiSt Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 You should be careful as usually they cause cracks in the paint work and warp panels. Take it to someone reputable, not worth it rusting. I guess it also depends on how much you want them rolled.. Yes, that yellow one is nice azz. I'm wondering how much they want for it?

NismoGirl Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 Hahha.. how about this for back yard performance. In the kinga we just got a big metal bar and rolled it around the tyre along the guard Worked a treat Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/2602-rolling/#findComment-47576 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duncan Posted August 16, 2002 Author Share Posted August 16, 2002 Thanks for the feedback, all. I ended up getting them rolled at Tempe tyres for $60 (rears only). They seemed to do a good job, no cracks in the paint etc. And the tyres are no longer rubbing - I'm not sure how you guys fit 265s/275s without rolling them, is there some sort of tardis under your guards?

Bah dont listen to christian! It comes down to the exact right offset of the wheel. If you get the right offset you can fit 265 tyres on the rears no probs and thats what his wheels are. I know a guy who can fit 275 to his nissan 180sx. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/2602-rolling/#findComment-58700 Share on other sites More sharing options...
