    Rolling/widening guards NEED HELP!

    Hey guys

    just need some help from you dub experts!

    i recently fitted a set of BBS RS replicas 17x8.5 on my mk4, wrapped in 215/45s

    heres the problem... the front didnt clear so i had to go to BSA Wheels in Peakhurst for them to custom make 15mm spacers for the wheels to clear

    and now the front is poking out and plus the guards are rubbing against my tires like a b!tch...

    heres some pics for reference:

    i was just wondering if any of you guys would i could take this to get the to roll the guards or tuck in the wheels or something? and how much something like that would set me back roughly?

    Any help would be much appreciated guys!

    cheers

    Get wheels that fit would be easiest.
    Rolling guards is easy enough, but please don't flare or pump mk4 guards, looks ghetto as

    You should get smaller spacers for the front and put those 15s on the rears. Looks weird with the fronts poking that much compared to the rears lol. But other than that, looks nice

    Yeah thanks for getting back to me man! only got them because couldnt resist a steal on ebay! but i think i might just take your advice and just roll the guards, but in doing this would it make the guards come out a little bit? dw man i know those flares look like ***** hehe

    If you roll them properly they won't come out at all

    why do you need to space them out so much? even my genuine BBS RS that had almost zero brake clearance didnt need any where 20mm even on 4motion brakes

    Id just sell the wheels if you cant make them fit as needed, not like they are hard to find in other sizes and specs

    Yeah maybe the guy at bsa didn't know what he was talking about! I might try just get 10mm spacers and see how they go. Thanks a lot for your help man really appreciate it

    What offset were they to start with? They look like they would fit without the spacers at all if they are actually 8.5" wide.

    Spacers are illegal everywhere so why the worry about the guards. Would be a bl**dy sight safer than spacers
