ON A ROLL

> CHAD ATKINSON SCHOOLS US ON CREATING TYRE CLEARANCE FOR YOUR FRONT FENDERS

- STORY & PHOTOS CHAD ATKINSON

STANCE is everything, no matter what you drive. But more often than not, there are hurdles to overcome in the quest to get your ride sitting lower. One of the major ones is when the front tyres come into contact with the fenders (or guards) on full lock. This can be rectified by body modificati­ons such as rolling your guards – also known as pumping, flaring and the like. Guard-rolling was a staple street machine mod in years gone by, and with period street machine restoratio­ns and tribute builds enjoying something of a resurgence, I figure it’s a good time to show you how to pump your guards the right way.
