Yup. keep em straight

Pole method works good, but more than likely will crack the paint - or you wont get enough clearance anyway.

I had the same (one finger) clearance and got some friends to lift that side of the car and then put the pole in. Just pushed the car backwards and forwards slowly till it flared enough.

Although, if you want to be super low, then you'll need to panel beat the guard anyway. Thats what l did before painting. Theres now tonnes of clearance.

Andos, long time no speak. Man have you got any close up pics of your guards? What size wheels/rubber you running?

I just put up another pic in my photo album which is the closest & clearest shot that l have on the front guards.

I'm running 195/50/15's. So probably easier than 16's or 17's!!

I also cut the front guard section under the bumper "rounded" so that the wheel didn't hit.

Yeah Andos that's what I want.. Have you other guys seen Andos flares? Is this what the pipe rolling turns out like? Who did yours Andos?

The pipe rolling will flare it much less. It will give some static wheel clearance, however to have it low with good full travel clearance you really need to panel beat them.

I did all mine myself. Took me a weekend for each guard. But the wheel has never hit & looks factory.

I'd try the pipe rolling first & if you aren't satisfied, panel beat them.

oh yeah, you may need to do the rears also if you have issues with the front. I was advised a minimum 1/2 inch clearance under all conditions, so about 1 1/2 inches static is necessary.

just run 195/45 r15s and they only just toucjh when turning on full lock and suspension fully compressed.

I would but I love big rims....
