I currently own a 2005 liberty and decided to run some spacers just to fill out the gaurds a bit better. However thickest i can run is 10mm at the front and therefore need extended wheel studs.. I looked into them and found out that arp and nismo make sets but i have no clue what dimensions would fit the liberty.. Any help would be appreciated..

As long as the thread is M12 x 1.25 I can't see there being an issue.
I know Nissan use that thread size so maybe the Nismo ones would be the way to go.
Alternatively, being that you're replacing all studs, you can change the thread completely as long as you fit the correct wheel nuts.

maybe try bolt on spacers...no need for extended studs and can go bigger than 10mm
i think floating spacers are a bit dodgy?

Ithought there was more to it then just that.. i looked a bit on NAISOC and came across this thread but still cant seem to find any info on the liberty but as you can see in the image i think theres more measurements to take into consideration

Floating spacers are fine as long as you get decent quality ones and run a long enough wheel stud. Id prefer to run bolt ons which im on doing on the rear but can only run max 10mm at the front which is why i need slip ons

H&R have a 15mm bolt on space.
Their DRS kit includes the longer wheel studs.

How about don't use any spacers on a road car in Australia as they are not legal.

You can get legal tint. You can get lower a car legally. You can't legally use wheel spacers. So what is your point? The original post asked for an opinion, I gave mine.

Pretty much any mod you do to your car is illegal without an engineers cert...

Wheel spacers are legal to use in Oz IF the manufacturer listed them as options for the model, and has rated the studs as suitable, AND they do not modify the track more than manufacturer allowed for, or maybe there is a limit like 25mm, forgot the last detail.
Note that front spacers will mess up your wheel offset, and thus your scrub radius, and then your steering will lose stability , and be more prone to tramlining.
I have Gmax rims on my gtb with offset of 48mm, vs factory of 55mm, and I can feel the slight loss of straight line stability.
