Rolling Guards Noob...

Hi All,

Noob question on guard rolling:

with a full car, and going around corners, i can hear both front and rear scrubbing.

From the above pic, will rolling guards help?

How does it actually work, it's on eibach springs so pretty stiff but obviously not stiff enough. Will that gap between guard and wheel need to be widened?

I would like to keep the look of the car, however i'm not sure if i can handle the scrubbing when the car is full.

Any advice would be appreciated thanks heaps!

What size/ offset are the wheels? Probably just need a roll on all 4 guards

+1, sounds like a just a roll is in order. There are a few guys who do it - I used PhillB and was happy with his service.

Thanks guys

18inch by 7.5inch +42, 215 tyres

looks like guard roll it shall be!

will this actually visually increase the gap between tyre and guard but? How does it actually work?

Cheers,

Basically the roller bolts onto the hub and you can adjust the angle of the roller itself (just a solid plastic cylinder) which will roll the lip of the guard flat instead of being 90 degrees from the guard.

Cos everyone likes pics...
