Scraping Guard

[NightKids]

hey guys

today when i drove home i noticed that my front right wheel is scraping the guard because of the side of the tyre. i was just wondering what i can do to stop this. do i need to modify the front suspension or something? i don't have a clue...

or do i have to sell my 17' and buy a set of 16s?

thanks

get your guards rolled...

[NightKids]

oh crap i never thought of that! how much does that cost? issert cheaper than getting suspension?

[[T][L]]

its about 40 per corner

[NightKids]

hmm that's alrite then!

do u rkn that's the best option? have u got it done? and is there a chance of them stuffing it up or something?

take it to a reputable place , most have done mercs, beemers etc so im sure they are good enough not to 'stuff' up.

[NightKids]

alrite cool... has anybody done it? i just wanna know what to expect...

i got my rears done and yeah there is a chance of cracking the paint... but if they heat the paint good it should be alright..

Just make sure where it is actually scraping. Me as example, i got 17" rims and it were scraping, so i rolled the guard...well it is better now, but the outside of the tyres still scraping the inside tyre-wall on hard full lock turn.

What i want to get to is, just by rolling the guards, i think will not solve the problem completely.

you can spray some crappy paint or rub chalk on the inner guard , then go for a drive ~ take wheel back off and note where the wheel is actually scraping.

i actually know where's it's scraping already. it's right on the outta edge of the tyre on the right hand side and at the back on the right hand side too. not where the actual tread is, but like outside of it.

well then rolling the guard would help that :)

[NightKids]

well that's great, recommendation of places & prices would be appreciated...
