tyres for 15x8's
how much does it generally cost to get guards rolled?

Everyone talks about pulling the guard, I know rolling is just folding the lip up so you gain more width, and I assume pulling means actually bending the fender out to fit an even wider wheel/tyre after rolling. But how do you actually pull the fender? is it the same tool as the roller or is it just using a pole like on youtube?

I used the guard roller I bought, you just keep doing it and winding the arm out

So the force to push the fender out is easily achieved with just the roller and you pushing it back and forward?
How much was that roller and where did you get it?
thanks

Theres usually a few on ebay.
The front guards are realllllllly easy to reshape. Rears are a bit of a pain, the metal is much thicker
