jaikno66 Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 hi, i just got this new rims for my kp60 but there rubbing in the front(backs fine) so i thought no big deal ill just get my guards rolled. i was talking to someone the other day and they said that i wouldnt be able to get them rolled because they've got that factory lip. is this true? any help would be great.

yetchh Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 thats kind of the whole point of rolling your guards.. bending up the factory lip.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpr Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 kp front guards are easy. dont need to roll them. just pull them out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaikno66 Posted December 14, 2013 Author Share Posted December 14, 2013 Im in dunedin, thanks for the offer. kpr how do i go about pulling them out? im a newbie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpr Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 grab the gaurd and pull! sounds rough. but unless you are rough you should be able to get another 10- 20mm out of them easy enough, without damaging them and the will still look like factory. loosening some of the bolts holding the guards maybe of help also. behind bumper headlights etc. i have made brackets in the past, between the inner and outer gaurd to hold them out. but found dont really need them. this is a 14x8 -13 offset with just gaurds pulled out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marsh Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Ive got a guard roller in Dunedin. They do a good job as long as you are just wanting to roll your inner lip flat. Trying to pump the guards makes a bit of a mess. You might chip off a bit of paint as you bend the lip but thats all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
