Aggressive Offset/Hella Flush Liberty's Etc... Yessss!

[Mr Cali]

Nice find, these would be pretty pricey that's if we could get them here. -3deg is porn

[castek]

Looks like he found a use for faulty tyres :p

[Bakks]

19 x 8.5 +30 would be too aggressive, largely for the front?

[smythie]

ahh, yeah.

Unless it's an outback and/or you're lifting your liberty to that sorta height

Yeah man... not enough stretch on a 19" tyre... so wont work with the stock guards... best to go for a low offset 18" or closer to +40 on a 19 x 8.5..

That said... I'm sure it would be possible to "make" them fit, you'll just need to pull the guards and run some decent -ve camber...

[smythie]

How are you going getting your +38 19x8.5's to fit Jim?

If I had them, I could tell you... Not sure they are happening at the moment... Waiting on my "wheel guy", and there seems to be delays for whatever reason, so I am keeping going with my other plans for the car at this stage...(I haven't forked out a deposit or anything as yet)

I also haven't had much interest in the Ultraleggera's, so if they aren't going to sell, I may as well just keep them and get them painted/powdercoated in a dark charcoal and see how they go!

Coilovers should arrive in the next few weeks, and after they are fitted I'll make a decision on whether to try and get the Advan's myself or just stick with the OZ's!

Shame, I reckon BBS CH would look awesome on a Liberty but only come in 19 x 8.5 ET30 in 5x100.

I'm sure if you are willing, you can make them fit... and agree that they would look the absolute bomb!
Would definitely need pulled guards to go low though...

Stretch some 225's or even 215's onto them, pull and roll the guards flat, -2.5 degree's camber and see how it sits!?

[Bakks]

Looking at the Liberty wagon on the front page, 9 +35, that has the same outer position as 8.5 +30 - so it may work on 215's!

[Jimmy S]

Yeah.. the difference is the 19" wheel meaning a lower profile tyre and less opportunity for stretch!

I reckon give it a crack personally... you're no stranger to scraping guards etc so if anyone is gonna get them to fit!

Besides, if you aren't happy with the end result, I'm sure you'll be able to sell them on to a WRX owner without too much hassle

I've just bought the XT7's that were for sale on here...

18x8.5 +38

I'll try to keep you posted with how I go. With my previous car (180sx) offset was everything, but it seems with the liberties, noone really has wheels with tough offsets...

Good stuff mate!... That's mostly because low offset wheels are a pain-in-the-ass to fit under the Lib's puny guards... That and there isn't a great deal of options in a 5 x 100 PCD with tough offset's for whatever reason!

[castek]

Surely some 5mm spacers could help?

I'd love to get some te37s for mine, if only I had the cash

[blacktop™]

i got them fitted yesterday arvo and they look pretty nice. ill post up some pics tonight if i get the chance. the cars not lowered yet nor have the guards been rolled or anything.

i think when the car is lowered the rears prob could do with a 5mm or so spacer.

TE37's are awesome wheels but like you said they're damn expensive. i had 57pro's on the 180
