Im not really sure mano, Just when i do a full lock, it scrubs and makes horrible sounds and seeing as im not near the wheel looking for where the sound is coming from i cant figure it out.

take the front wheels off and look for areas inside the guard that are scratched up. Also, next time you hear it happen, have a look at the tyre to get an idea of what part the tyre is rubbing

Mine made a horrible sound on my previous Liberty, and it turned out to only be the plastic inner wheel guard. An edge had come away and the inner tyre was rubbing on it at full lock. Easy fix.

Ill have a look tomorrow try find out whats doing that. My parents think cause its the WRX rims (Larger than a Libertys isnt it?) thats whats causing the Scrubbing.

don't think it would be. What's the difference in size between the standard RX rim and the same style 5 spoke rim that was used on the rexies?

Have been looking around and really struggling to find rims to fit the Liberty Wagon. Any thoughts on where I could get some rims like these?? Preferably in Brisbane?


I checked ROTA website but they only specify 17 and 18's. Can these wheel companies do 19's upon request if they don't normally build them that size? Never put new rims on a car before so wouldn't know.

Thanks,

-Martin.

nah, the STi rims would make it worse than the 17" WRX wheels you have on it at the moment
