You can either buy a guard roller, thier about $500 for one.
Or get it done buy someone else for about $80 a corner.

thats only rolling them
not flaring them.
i am yet to flare mine so id also like to hear how it is done properly
yeh the process involved would be handy to know.. as its possibly on the cards for me...
Mine will be off the road in a few weeks. I'll be looking into this as well.
If anyone has the "know how" or a possible link to it I think everyone would have a quick look at it.
Cheers

hey seems i choose a good topic everyone is wanting to do this...
i think it dosent just serve the purpose of keeping your wheels from hitting the guards with those negitive offset rims but also gives a nice phat stance....
i used a hammer and mine look sweet!
tell us ur procedure lol
yes yes more more do tell!!! i'm goin to practise on some guards i have in the garage that are F@*&@D anyways... should be quite fun!!!
Isnt the normal DIY way to use a Base - Ball bat?
My friend stepped up from 13x 6s to 16 x 7s on his FWD Rolla, and we just used a METAL baseball bat to roll them.
You have to be careful though, so that you dont crack the paint on the outside of the guard or even warp it.
But just jam it up under the guard, lift carefully and roll the bat around - over the tyre........
It allows the guard to flex out, so that they dont bump on the edge of the tyres and also to look a bit fatter.... But if you want them "FLARED" then i would go see a professional of just buy a set of flares!
Thanks.....
