Hi Guys,
in my search for new wheels for the lib, ive come accross these, there off an audi, 5x100 19" 8.5 wide but a +35 offset.. will this fit or not at all? mainly the width and offset im guessing.

8.5" wheels will fit, but that offset is too low. You could "make" it fit by running narrow tyres, but you'd have substantially increased the scrub radius for what, the opportunity to use skinny tyres? It would be a disaster.

For 8.5" wide wheels I'd aim for at least +45 or +48mm offset. You'll definitely need to roll the guards for front and rear otherwise expect rubbing if you're lowered or under heavy loads.
