You'll be hard pressed to find rims that give you big dish while still clearing brembos on a liberty, the guards just aren't big enough. Unless you're willing to flare/pull/widen + a crap load of camber, but even then finding rims will still be a hard task. That said I've been on the look out for the sort of rims you're after (I'm after the same thing), and the varrstoen's look pretty good, as to BBS LM's, but expect to pay a monstrous amount of money for them.
With replica's you can get Linea Corse LM's in 18x9.5 +30. They have plenty of dish but I don't think they clear brembos (I've read that they only JUST clear Rotora calipers which are smaller than brembos).
I've managed to find a set I'm quite happy about (although I'm sure they're not to everyones tastes), but it's just a matter of getting them over here from the US without paying an arm and a leg for shipping.
Let me know how your rim search goes.
Cheers for all that info man, I hadn't actually taken that into consideration, I guess if you have to space them out a bit then it just makes them harder to fit under the guards. Were you looking at the Varrstoen te37 reps? They are a nice wheel for sure, I think they look nicer than the grids too. I know the 151's are nice wheels, just a shame the previous driver roughed them up a bit. Still prefer something with a bit of lip. Do you know if the 18x9.5" +35mm XXR 502's clear brembos? I never manage to factor everything in when I'm looking for wheels, I keep forgetting about brake clearance.
Oh and digital I don't believe this is Patricks old car, neither of the last two owners were called Patrick, and if it's the one I think you mean, it's a gt and has a hood scoop and a few other differences.
