Give Nelson a ring from sydney guard rolling.

He is great. he did my CRX and I had to pump the crap out of them!

If i remember correctly majority of the problem with the pinny's is the sides of the guards moreso than the top of them...

lansvale, i cant remember the name of the place, but its on the main road just down the road from just jap, theres an importer/smash repairer (his sign has a r35) he pumped the guards on my inslaws 200's

yeah i have 215's on 18's
Rubbin bad.
Have been lipped underneath already but need the guard actually widened.. Cheers will try that guy

u could always get the rims machined...

Robbd · « **Reply #9 on:** Aug 26, 2009, 09:19PM »

The rims are wider than the rubber
could fit 235's on rear but need em pumped a lot more for that

deadant · « **Reply #10 on:** Aug 26, 2009, 10:00PM »

just wondering why u runnin sumthin that wide anyways? why not run a 17 or 16?

I have 225's on mine coz the tyre fitter put the wrong ones on but they look nice so i kept them, but with someone in the back and a decent bump it scrapes.

i tried hitting mine out but with not much gain so i took it to a panel beaters and the lip that is usually on the inside of the guard needs to be intact for them to do it easily and relatively cheaply, but in my case they wanted 250 for the rear guards to be rolled

i have 215/45 17's and it scrapes just on the edge of the tyre....

sounds like you need more than a guard roller, more like paint & panel or fabricator to sort out those guards. it may be the inner skin rubbing up under the arch.

or get the correct fitting wheel and tire package.

I run 225/40/18 all around and dont scrape.

dozer · « **Reply #18 on:** Mar 12, 2011, 12:04PM »

ride height, rim offset and different tyre brands could all be slightly different.
not all 225's are made to the same width or shape as another breed.
camber could be a factor as well.

Dontae92 · « **Reply #19 on:** Mar 15, 2011, 01:39PM »

well im at standard ride height. Falken Ziex 512 known for running smaller than the size rating. 18x8 +38. My falkens seem to be a bit stretched but not crazy. If I was lowered i still dont think theyd scrape since the shoulders are angled like this / also my camber is a little negative
