XXR 527 on Liberty Wagon Gen4

by **joelnicholls** » Sat Apr 11, 2015 9:45 pm

Hey guys, I have been looking around for a new set of wheels. I found XXR 527s and have been looking into if they fit gen4s. I have heard many varied stories some saying they don't poke and some do. So will the xxr 527 fit?
Dimensions:
18x8.75 +35 offset

Thanks, Joel.

I run 18x8.5 +45 and sit exactly flush with the front guard and tuck a little bit on the rear, your xxrs will poke an extra 10mm with the offset plus an extra 1/8th of an inch. You'll struggle to fit them without coilovers and a fair bit of guard work. Hope this helps

Thanks mate, and yes I am planning on running coil-overs. Might end up going for something like yours. The 18x8.5 with +45 offset.

Go with the bigger offset otherwise you will need to run a lot of negative camber for them to be considered legal and not scrub.

I found rota g-force wheels, 18x8.5 +44 offset. Will these fit my gen4 lib wagon??

Yes, they are the same specs I am running, allow maybe a mm or 2 for wheel design but you can see here for how my wheels sit on standard height

You should be fine with those rims. Still consider 0.5 to 1 degree of neg camber to ensure scrubbing is kept to a minimum I reckon.

Yeah, I will roll the guards to avoid scrubbing. Thank you for your input guys.
Thanks, Joel.

18 x 8.0 +35 offset fit?

It will, but not without heavy camber and guard rolling.

Whats the max size I could get away with without cambering? Guard rolling doesn't bother me, but you go through tyres like no tomorrow with camber haha.

You need an offset of +40 to get away with standard type camber in that wheel size

Agreed, the ultrex rs i have sit flush/ boarder line poke, ( 18 x 8 +42) i think 18 x 8 +40 would be max, anything into the 30's would be too much

Rota G-Force 18x8.5 +44. I would get away with them?

id say probably just, just if you wanted to go pretty low you would need some rolling
