Interesting on that site it talks about using a machine, thats what I would expect. May have to ask around a few other shops, just that this shop is only 50m from my house!


most wheel shops have them
they just bolt to your hub
and have a skate board wheel that runs around the inside gently folding the lip up

of note many places have them but most try to do it to fast and bite into the guard to far causing the cracking of the paint

your 17's shouldn't be rubbing though with stock suspension
i have mine lowered on 17's and i have onyl had problems when it was lower than it is now

What offset are the wheels?
as that could be the problem
