Thanks

They're all over eBay. I paid around 85 quid for mine. I may have got it on group buy on the 200sxoc tho, can't remember :)
-
Cheers for the comments. I'm not looking to buy as I'll only use it until I'm satisfied with the way my New wheels sit.
Have anyone of you used these and know much flare you can get?
-
I'd also be interested to know this.
How much can you actually roll them by?

Used one on my old car, fairly easy to use very easy to make a mess. Obviously if your only doing a roll your gunna get a slight pull, but if your going to want a lot of flare like I did your probably going to end up in body shop after ha ha. Once they'd been smoothed over I gained probably an extra 20mm of clearance.

Mine are getting done on Saturday :wink:

The guy i used in darwen charges £15 a corner i think!

I had a disaster on the weekend! A lad came out to do my rears and couldn't get the roller on in the correct position, my air ride didn't go up heigh enough.
-
Could you not get a jack under the car and take the wheel off!?
-
The wheel came off, but the air suspension didn't raise up enough to allow the roller the space.
-
Where abouts you based George?
-
Based I'm Hampshire
-
Cool, was just wondering in case you have some luck, wouldn't mind getting mine pulled but probably wont be necessary :popcornsoda:
-
I only need it because my new wheels are 9.5 wide on the rears
-
Yea that's where Im going too :grin:, Offset?
-
Oh nice. Which wheels? And 40 et
-
You got to take the bag off to allow the roller to fit then dude?
Also, you going to run camber with your new wheels?
-
Nothing special just the over killed LM's, but they're ET45 so hopefully I should be ok? :party:
-
Rear arches are already rolled? :scared: :surprised:
-
In regards to who jay?
-
George I think? Bit confused lol.
Rears are already rolled, they can be pulled but you don't need them on a 9.5 you can get away with just camber on anything over about et 35 :)
-
I don't wanna camber too much
-
Why not mate?
It's fine. And you will need the camber to clear under compressioin/bumps anyway. -3 degrees is fine. It doesn't wear tyres out much faster.. it's toe alignment that does that.
-
In that case I'll probably do a bit then
