We are the first to roll guards on a HSV W427 in Western Australia
Guard Rolling
Fitting wide, large-diameter wheels and tyres is a great way to
enhance the look of your car, but it can lead to excessive tyre wear and
tear without adequate tyre clearance. One simple way to create more room
for the wheels and prevent tyre damage is to have the guards rolled or
lipped.
How guard rolling works
Guard or fender rolling consists of folding the inner lip of
the wheel arch into a tighter 'V' shape or a completely flat
'U' shape
to increase the space between the arch and the tyre.
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 by using a rolling machine that bolts
onto the wheel hub.
The guard rolling technique varies with each car and success
depends on the condition of the paintwork or previous repairs to the
area. If the paint is original, there is usually no cracking or paint
damage.
