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?

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.

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.

    • Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!
    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
    • Cracked deck  And other cam snap stuff   
    • A few random issues have popped up since my last update. My WMI pressure sensor failed within about 10 minutes of it seeing liquid. It was a 20$ China special, so I'm not surprised. My name brand replacement should arrive today.  My power steering assist also decided to crap out last weekend. The usual, works for about 60 seconds after starting the car then I lose it. I dusted off my old copy of NDS and connected to the HICAS ECU. Code 4 for assist solenoid.... I tested the solenoid and it's fine.  I knew the day where my HICAS ecu would crap out would come, and I welcome it. It was the last HICAS part on the car that is now in the bin. I've ordered an SSR and I will control the power steering solenoid with my Haltech ecu. It will be nice to have proper speed referenced assist again after all these years.
