guards rolled?

[civic86]

hey i have a honda civic hatch eg and planing to put 17s on em just wondering if i would need guards to be rolled and also will be lowering them low king springs..

Could you provide more details of the rims and tyres that you are going to put on, in paticular the width of the rims and profile of the tyres as these will also determine if the guards should be rolled.

[civic86]

well the rims are 17s the tyres are 205/40-45/r17 and are gonna b lowered with king springs lows

[[stealth]]

doesnt sound like they will need to be lowered.. normal low kings or superlows...

also how wide are your 17s? 17x?

[civic86]

normal lows it shudnt b a problem?

i would think that if u had 17 x 7 on kings u would have to roll the guards
specially the rears coz they scrub like a bitch ( speaking from experience )

i got 17x7s on my crx and no rubbing except for a full lock at the fron only a little bit.....

it all depends on the offset of the wheels if there +40 or more u should be ok with 205/40, 45s will probs scrub.....if u get some wheels that are nice n snug under ur guard i.e +42 or more u will have no probs unless ur car is on its sack

dont roll the guards its not worth it!

just get the tyres and drive around.. if it needs to be rolled do it, if not, stuff it.. =]
best accurate way to see if you need it

just roll it yourself .. i did it myself today =)

i wouldnt recommend rolling them urself if u stuff it up ur paint will flake under the guard. get the right wheels and ur set 17x7 205/40 (~+40 or more offset)
