Guard Flaring in wellington

[josephstef]

Ive got some 9.5 wheels that are rubbing a little on a subaru b4 in the rear.

Ive put a pipe through it but its still not WOF passable, is there anyone who knows a place in wellington to flare or pump them out? and what cost it would be around?

[funkytown]

why is it a WOF fail?

custom autoworx in upper hutt do that sort of work but its quite pricey

[petrolheadjman]

Shouldn't be a wof fail?

Even buy a guard roller if you trust yourself?

[josephstef]

because the wheels are too wide for the car, (trims stick out from the body). The dude from mag and turbo said that all guard rolling does is push the lip up, which ive done...

[petrolheadjman]

Ooo might need a bit of work!

[josephstef]

haha yeah, plus i have to get a new cert for power upgrade, manual conversion, exhuast .... shes got a bit of work to go.

[josephstef]

autoworx said they couldn't do it, they only have a gaurd roller and when i asked them to anyway they said "no take it to a panel beater"

[ADIKT]

Yea you will need to flare/pump guards. Or just get smaller wheels??

Cambers?

[josephstef]

Wheels are +38 I can adjust camber in front but not rear.

So far no luck, anyone know some good reasonable priced panel beaters that could widen them?

Custom body work isn\'t going to be cheap or done by any old panel beater. As the

first reply says, ask Autoworx... also ask Macbilt who they would use. But if you are

price sensitive, don\'t waste either of their time with a phone call.

[funkytown]

lol said you asked custom auto works... and they cant do it..

they managed to do mine JUST fine.

heres what happened- you rang up and asked offhand if they can do it, they quoted you $2k+ and you shrivelled up inside.

you think thats $$ and you came back to CS saying they cant do it.

as above - doing the job is going to be $$$. end of story. get rid of wheels or bend over and accept the cost

[Stoffa]

You can buy camber bolts for the back, they should give you -2° might be enough. then run stretched tyres

[Scoobydoo]

You want to ask this fulla :D

Are you serious? why would i do that ?

I asked for the guards to be rolled! They outright said they couldn\'t and i quote "We wont do it" Im sure they can panel beat fine, but if you read my last post im looking for other panel beater recommendations, preferbly in wellington city not upperhutt. Is that okay with you funkytown?

I can roll them up and probably push/pull them around 5mm, really depends how much you need before it starts wrecking paint, got pics of how they sit?

[funkytown]

i just see why they say they cant.. that is specificly their line of work. doesnt add up to me

It sounded like they would be pushing the limits of the roller, he said the reasoning is that the roller will only fold up the lip.

Paints all ready gone in the front as i had to do a roll with a pipe so it could be road tuned, was rubbing like hell.

[BLAZD]

Threads under the line of body so it\'s legal, stretch specs?

[loner]

is rubbing the issue, or that the rim sticks out too far?

[Stoffa]

extra 1 degree negative would make a huge difference I think lookin at that pic
