There is oem camber adjustment at the front (probably not enough), non at the rear.

You can buy camber bolts for the front and a rear camber kit from Whiteline, coilovers will have camber tops in the front if you do them.

Rolled guards are done in numerous places, google is your friend for your location.

I can do it in Melbourne.

and for rear?

If you are in Sydney there are few better rollers than PhillB (www.phillbenterprises.com). He comes to you and rolls your guards for convenience, and has experience in doing a massive range of vehicles (plenty of Lib's).

As others have said, 9.5 wide with +35 offset is a very aggressive setup for a Liberty. Unfortunately Subaru's don't run high offsets meaning big dish or the like isn't as easily attainable as other cars. 9.5 +35 can and has been done but you will need to run quite a lot of negative camber to achieve the fit.

Ah

How about 17x8.25 +35 5x100 is that a better fit for my car?
I've currently on 17 on them now 215 tires i was looking to just keep them as there still in good condition. But will i end
up having to change them anyways because of this size?

Lol not really, the actual rolling diameter between 17" and 18" wheels would be almost identical, obviously the 18" has a lower profile tyre, the issue is the offset and width, get yourself some c/overs (with adjustable camber plates) roll your guards, add camber, good to go :)

Plus you would prob need to go up to 235's so your not streching the tyre.

Oh... I didn't realise they sold 18x7.5? Last I checked they didnt... atleast for the 527, the only options when it came to width was 8.75 and 9.75.


Edit* Just realised the 530 come in 18x7.5. however 527's dont. If you dont want to roll/flair guards and run camber, get the 530's in the 18x7.5 :victory:
