i've got 7" width rims on my eg civic and they scrub on the lip when i corner hard or go over a big bump while turning...the wheel arches sit just above the tyres...maybe get a finger in there...

what can i do to stop this??

yeh, i've got lipped guards, it solves the problem if you dont go into corners too hard or going over big bumps etc....

how big are ur tires?

i got 215's on the front (215/45/17) and they rub when cornering hard... reckon i could stop it with better suspension tho :P

i think a 205 on the front would be alright...

my rear guards are a bit panel beated and that helped a little, but also not oto sure where to get it done properly.

the only place i know is Donnellans in Box Hill... however so far, i've only come across bad stories about their work.

I got my rears hammered at Tempe tyres.

I reckon it was stupid how they sed that they couldn't u da guard roller cause my car was too low.

Job wasn't too crash hot, so I want someone to re roll da rears and mayb da fronts too! :|

Does anyone reccomend anyone in Sydney that will proably be willing to re-roll my gaurds?

yep, 205's all round for me as well, 17x7... back isnt much of a problem, front still scrapes ocasionally with sharp turns, big bumps, but overall better than not having them rolled.... ive got all 4 corners done

to solve all these scraping....i.e problems

only one thing you can do which has 2 benefits

increase the height a little
1) save you the money to replace / repair
2) all the heart pain in having to face day in and out till the thing is fix

infact i can think of another, in the summer where cop is in season, less obvious for defects and averting a big arse hole in your pocket for fines..

btw can someone tell me why is it all necessary to have big chrommies or super duper low ground scraping rides ? ..in fact i'm have been curious for a while, pls pls enligten me to the path of the reasons for so doing? i'm curious:)

man not everyone has the same taste as you, or didnt you know this. Ppl like chrome as opposed to whatever the heck you have on your car. Chrome grabs attention and maybe thats how they want it. I got chrome on my car and personally my car wuld look shit with anything fitted cuz thats the look of the car. Not all rides siut black,white/wateva. Its a matter of taste. Dont understand y that question was asked at all............

when i had my 7inch wide on my crx
there was 2 fingers gap
however the wheel never hit the guard
cos the springs would not travel enough to actually hit the guard
get ultra thick+stiff springs
lol
