would 18x12inch rims fit on a liberty

[dlee]

reallly would like to try but i dont have any idea of where to start

Get yourself the rims (preferably around 0 offset so you aren't rubbing on the inside)
Get some tyres. for example maybe 325/30/18
Find yourself someone good with body work to make you new quarter panels all round. You are going to need about 110mm more room on the outside to avoid rubbing and defect notices.

Or you can raise the ride height so you have no rubbing and just let the wheels stick out the sides, which would be illegal and silly.

Get the jacked up Gen5 facelift Liberty. Might be easier. lol.

Aside from looking as silly as that Celica it would be a defect magnet. The widest legal rims in Australia are 10"

Also running a tyres any bigger then 235 might be a a defect (It would be for a specb in SA)

Stop trying to talk him out of it, I want to see the finished product

For real? That sucks, wanted some nice beefy 245s if I was to get new wheels.

Yes it's shit Daniel, I can't even run 235/40/18 legally

I'd be interested in hearing why not if you are willing to go into it.

So all the lamborghinis out there with factory fitted 19x11 rears in Australia are illegal?? also Ferraris too?
Perhaps once you pay more than $200K for the car it doesn't apply?

[rooby]

I always thought you just couldn't go more than a certain amount larger than the largest possible option from the factory. - Which still puts 12" on a lib a little over

There is even the Nissan 370Z. The nismo version (which I think was sold here at some point) had/has 10.5 inch rears.

i fucking love that celica purely for the amount of hate it receives

I love that celica. People no longer appreciate someone pushing the boundaries of possibility. In all seriousness kudos to him! I like it.

Damn, looks like it's time to get to know some engineers

Because SA sucks for car modifications :'(

awww damn i dont really want to mess with the panels to much the rims i want to get are p45r2 rotas. il probably just get 18x9.5 or something similiar to that. can i just go to a shop and get them to test fit them or anything like that nature?

[bates91]

it sounds like you need to do some research. check through the wheel/tire section on here.
18x9.5 can be done but you will need some work. be very careful with what offset they are also
yeah i guess you could ask a shop to trial fit them for you...have you bought them already? or buying off a mate?
