I think the catch with tire rack is the fact warranty isn't coveted from the OZ dealers and uoull be hit up for import tax if the price is over 1k..

Quick, someone call Red Bull Racing!
Just a heads up, Tirerack can now ship all brands except Toyo and Yokohama to Australia. Freight to Australia is about $400 for a set of 4.
These links are worth a look:

In the size you guys would be looking at (225/40R18), the PZero is a freak of a tyre. It has a 238mm tread width (made in Italy model).
Note those tyres above all have a 92 load rating. Some in that size will be 88, which is not sufficient for a Liberty.

Unless you are running crazy low (as I was) then you won't have issues with scrubbing - even when running a low height i dont remember having any problems. A 42 offset is not all that aggressive. All you would need is your guards rolled and you will be fine. A 225/35/19 tyre will be perfect for it. If you go wider then you may find scrubbing might become an issue.

I want to get the stance, wheels n tyres as perfect as I can. I think 50-55 offset would be perfect or pump the guards 10mm would be the other option. Still investigating.

I do want the tyre to affect my ride quality and I have a very bumpy road here in moree.
In other works id like a nice size tyre wall (same as stock) where the tyre does not need to be stretched but I dony mind if it is a little.
I was thinking 235/45. I dont really want my spedo out much either. tyre gurus thanks in advance.

The offset is perfect, you can check my thread for some photos which will show how the wheels sit on wagon with bilstein.
