Can anyone suggest me a good place to get my guards rolled in Melbourne (North)? A mobile one would be fantastic. My new wheels are just rubbing (nothing major) and would like to try this route before contemplating raising the suspension.

FYI, I just rolled my guards myself last weekend because it was rubbing after putting on 285's on the rear. I also push them out by another 30mm or so and it looks mad. here are some pics;

it might crack underneath where its rolling but you can touch that up. wont crack on the outside or edge where it's visible provided the paint it heated up ok beforehand

I just spoke with a mobile guard roller and he was saying that the holes where the screws are put in for the trims, when rolled cause a weakness and may cause the outside to warp. Anyone have this problem happen or should I just go ahead with it. I'm just doing the rears, have 19 x 10's +30 with 265's and they're rubbing on corners

Mine warped a tiny tiny bit. Then again I only paid $50 (total) to get them done. _________________

My also warped a bit too at the start but I keep on working it / rollering it out unit you can't see it anymore. _________________

depends how much you need to roll. ideally shaving them down is better. mine warped a bit but they were rolled around 1/2 flat over standard.
maybe just get them rolled a bit or if you dont need to take off too much, just trim back the metal with a belt sander or dremel back to the edge of the hole for the trim. then you can always put trim back on to hide it if you need?
