17 inch rims on liberty 99

[Shmegoshmepikz]

Currently got 16x6.5 Wheels on my liberty,
Was wondering if anyone has put 17x7 wheels on their liberty and if i can slap them straight on
or if I have to put on spacers which i would like to avoid

nless they are 17" subarus off another model.. eg I have 17x7 off a 207 Rex on my 98 Club spec Rex and it is a perfect match and you will have no problems but if they are not Subaru mags then you have to make sure you buy mags with the correct 'offset' or they may scrub either on the inside of the top of the guards if too 'positive' offset, or on steering components if they are too 'negative' offset. My 07 Lib GT has 9.5" 18s with 235 RE003s and on cold mornings they rub on the inside of the guard for 3-4 minutes of driving until the TEIN coilovers warm up then they never rub even with 4 people in the car over country roads.. Someone on here will know the offset of your current wheels of take one off and have a look inside at the back of one of the spokes and it will be there.. maybe shown as +10 or -14 etc .. Pic of some of our cars for your enjoyment.. The blue one and the silver one both have latter model 17x7" WRX wheels that are a perfect offset for bigger tyres.
