Rolling?

[Duncan]

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?

$170 all 4 corners at big o tyres at chipping norton

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.

i think theres a yellow gtst at maureen motors at canley with its guards rolled and its deep dish rims.... looks fully sick bro. Just thought i'd share that with yas

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?

Australia's Best Tyre Service did a good job for me once.

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?

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

i think it was low thirties... i remember it from the mailing list sent my Geoff Risbey, when it sold for around low twenties.. nice profit

Duncan, i've been recommended to goto Australia's Best.

aeheah at least u weren't as greedy as me.. 275's... just let

me tell you they didn't last too long..

Low thirtys'... I'm expecting some BIG improvements with that

amount of money.

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?

[Zman]

Got any pics dude?

[Duncan]

Finally got some pics

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.

damm.. 275's on a 180sx... that is pure S3X on wheells.
