Nice, Exact same as my Ultraleggeras except I have 225/40 SP Sport Maxxs (they sit about 5mm over the rim giving them a bit of protection from curbs but still looks flush)

These are my new rims unboxed and trial fitted
I am a bit worried that the rims are too close to the suspension and once tyres are put on its will rub on the suspension
Has anyone got 18x8 with +42 offset on standard suspension and had any problems ??

Ill take a photo tomoro and show u all what im talking about!

How close is the rim to the coilover? tread will be a couple of mm extra at most. Also gotta account for the tread sitting higher when it's on the ground so don't forget that.

Rims look very nice though. Great colour contrast.

I'm getting 235s I can fit my finger between the suspension and rim and there isn't any room for anything else so it's about 10-15mm from the suspension I guess

Rims look good! Are you sure you got +42? The standard STI 18s are 7.5" wide +55 so you should have MORE clearance if anything....

Tried Taylor's 18x8.5 +44 with 245/40 rubber and they fit without rubbing so mine should be fine

HyRax wrote:In most states, the legal limit is 1 inch larger than factory and only 10mm wider than factory, hence for Gen4 turbo and 3L Liberty's, the legal limit will be 19" and 225 wide, but for non-turbo it will be 18" and 225 wide despite bearing a virtually identical chassis.


Generally wheel/tyre increases are based on the largest factory option wheel/tyre, not necessarily what is on your car if you have pov pack rims.

So assuming you can option GT rims onto any lib (I don't know if you can or not) then aftermarket wheel allowances are the same for all libs.
