Beaver Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 hey peeps. thinking about getting the guards rolled/flared on the hunter, so i can fit some bigger wheels on it. anyone reccomend where to go? also, can anyone tell me how much extra width you can get from rolling/flaring them? i need probably a inch lol cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock-Lee Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 what rims are you trying to run. you can get a fair amount with rolled/flaired guards and a bit of tyre stretch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaver Posted November 2, 2008 Author Share Posted November 2, 2008 what rims are you trying to run. you can get a fair amount with rolled/flaired guards and a bit of tyre stretch. not sure exactly, but ive tried some 13x6 hotwires with 185/70s, and the guards just sit on the side of the tyres so yeh. kinda wana open my options up a bit by having enough room at the back to tuck some wheels up, as its prety low (3" drop + 30 yrs of sag lol). it has 185/80s on there now, on standard steelies, and its perfect. the offest must just be ideal.

Brock-Lee Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 yea, they are stock rims so the offset is of course gonna be right lol. i rekon get the rims you wanna run and then make them fit. just roll stock until then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tortron Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 go get a baseball bat/pipe and google or youtube for guard flaring even better that you plan on painting it as then its not a problem to crack the finish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUNAMUCK Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Dunno yet, they haven't actually got it in hand yet. My mate told me on wed night that he was going to give his mate his share of the coin to buy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
