Thread: Scraping Guard

  1. #1

    Scraping Guard

    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

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

    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.
