Many people are
likely to enhance the look of their car with the fitting of
wide, large diameter wheels and tyres. The very latest trend is
towards hugely-sized exotic chrome rims that consume every inch
of wheel space under the standard guards – and sometimes more.
One simple way to create more room for these oversized wheel and
rubber packages is to have the guards rolled or lipped.
How can I help?
Guard or fender rolling consists of folding the inner lip of the
wheel arch into a tighter “V” shape or completely flat “U” shape
which enhances wheel clearance.
How is it done?
The spot welded double metal lip of the rear guards or the
single skinned lip of the front wheel arch can be pressed all
the way around the inner side of the arch with the use of a
rolling machine which bolts onto the wheel hub. With a
certain technique which can differ for each car, successful
rolling can depend on the condition of the paintwork (ie age) or
previous repairs in that area – usually there are no hassles
with paint damage or cracking because heat is applied during the
rolling process, to allow the paint to flex. Successful rolling
will depend on the condition of the paint work. Usually if the
paint is original there is no cracking. However, this can change
if the vehicle:
is over 10 years old,
has had previous smash
repairs in the arch to be rolled,
has body filler under
the paintwork around the wheel arch,
has been modified in any
way, and
has any holes drilled
around the wheel arch.
