Anyone had their guards rolled?

Hi all,

Just seeking advice on getting rear guards rolled. Working my way through customizing my 2014 640i M sport Gran Coupe. Put some Asanti Black label 22inch wheels on it. 255 front, 295 rear. Fitment is aggressive stance but getting a bit of guard scrape when suspension compresses. Not significant but sometimes...

Anyone had this problem and resolved It?? pros and cons?

cheers

I had the same problem on a 2008 650 that I installed 22" wheels. I ended up rolling the back fenders to resolve. I had the car for 2.5 years with no problem. In my case when they rolled the fenders there was a gap where the plastic cover will not reach. I suggest protecting the inside of the fender. I did it at a local custom shop, took them 1 hour and the end result was excellent.

I think they're plastic. Can you roll plastic somehow? Am I wrong?

You can use a heat gun and reshape the plastic liner.

In my case reshaping the plastic did not help. I had to roll the actual metal.
