Correct zmit, 40 profile for 17s is what you need. My wheels/tyres are 17x9 +35 wrapped in Federal 595 RS-R 235/40s but they run wide so its more like a 245, thus the scrubbing before. My car is also lowered on Pro Kit springs.
 
? Guards have been done, on both mine and Alex's...see above...

Great results there. Most places charge accordingly as not all cars are as easy to do and they have to cover themselves if something happens with the paint, even though they don't warranty it, i'm sure people will fight the claims.
 
I would prefer doing it myself next time though, your results were fantastic. I've seen them rolled much more than that though (basicallly a V shape) and at that point you are much more likely to chip the paint.

Thanks Adrian, I'm very happy with the results :)
We didn't want to go too far with the roll as I've heard that the more you roll it beyond 45 deg, there's a much higher chance of the paint cracking. Also, even if the tyre scrubs a bit now, the guard wont cut into it badly because that sharp edge is pointing upwards now. I only heard it slightly rub ONCE on a 30 min drive in the hills, compared to on almost every corner/bump before!

Yeah we did my guards pretty much the whole way, but Josh, like I said to you, if it still gets annoying, we can go further with yours..

^yeah I haven't heard anything bad about them PanMR2. How much do they charge?
For me 9" Enkei rears wrapped in 235 Fed RS-R offers AMPLE traction for my humble beast :)

I've pay $80.00  for both rear guards and I have done same job before with other guy that do at his own time in Blackwood.
both jobs were good, slow rolling, reheating the area and continue checking temperature before rolling again.
I have a 1998 and just installed a 3sgte 1994 in it, going very well.
cheers
