You dont have to roll it but its better if you do. I have same 15x8 +25 on my Ek and its perfect with a little rolling.

If you are short on money for guard rolling even just hitting ur inner guard with a rubber mallet + heating with heatgun will help.

[minhquan]

haha oh really? how low did you drop your ek? yeah thats what i thought,i thought of rolling it just in case,yeah kinda on a budgets still in school :L
but i wouldnt mind getting it done if its only 100 dollars, if you dont mind post some of your ek pics up your dp looks interesting,do you live near silverwater? :L

yeah i live near silverwater. My ek has been lowered 3" its perfect to the guard.

They sit pretty much flush at my height... but if ur going 2.5" or 2" should be fine unless u have passengers at rear

Heres a pic of it how it is today on Og sans 15x8 +25 offset. My guards are slightly rolled

Thanks mate! 1.5 will require no rolling. but trust me 1.5 has only a little change to height + wheels will look like it pokes abit.

by the means of alignment do u mean camber?
all natural camber

[minhquan]

haha and i think i saw your car parked at bunnings auburn once, oh thats alright for now,when i get abit more money ill roll and dump :L

yea thats what i meant
natural as in u didnt wheel allign it after you lowered it?
or its on 0* front and rear?

natural camber means he doesnt require any camber kit to fit them wheels in to avoid scrubbing etc..
natural camber is "natural" lol.. it varies from how low your car is..

ah so after lowering your car you never got a wheel allignment?

[tsol0811]

No wheel alignment yet but i am planning to get one asap.
camber is going to be left natural

[VT3C]

forget 1.5" drop, put the $$ towards some entry level coilovers then u can drop it as much or little as u like, but 1.5 will just make ur rims look weird.

wait... so when u get ur wheel allignment u'll ask for castor and toe changes but no changes to camber?
is that right?
or r u goin to ask to get a certain setting of camber with your standard arms?

natural camber from the height allows my wheels to fit. if i straighten camber to 0 i will require guard work

[minhquan]

i got them fitted,the drop is really nice and low but now ive got scrubbing issues like when i drive around and like hump and highway dips i get scrubbing :(
will rolling the guards stop this issue?

[hasto2770]

Yes you may have to roll the guards.

I have used a set of the same wheels same specs on my EK and it needed rolled guards!

[minhquan]

i got the 2.5" drop i think, i got my guards rolled as well no more scrubbing
