if your looking for better fitment you should have gone staggered offset or sizes.

with a 9 inch
up the front +30-35 and +20 on the rear.. depending how low of course..

or even 9.5 on rear +30

its okay to run staggered sizes as long as tire width remains the same on all four wheels.

Yep +20 and +35. What I am saying is that +35 is fine, but +20 doesn't work well

That doesn't make sense. You should have had them the other way around to look symmetrical.


I tried the +20 on both the front and rear of the car. They would not fit under the guards at the back or front. The photo above with the camber is with the +20 on the rear and as you can see even with a decent amount of camber it just doesnt get under the guard.


Where did you order through? Which vendor?

How do you find the stretched tires mate?
I'm thinking of getting some XXR 530's (18x8.75 +20) as well when I get my Lib and I was wondering how you find them on a daily?

You might not want the +20 seeing as this thread is to say they don't work out so well.

That looks very tough!! Don't know of I'll have quite that fitment haha! Although I have been throwing around the idea of getting my wheels painted white. Would be I interesting to see how the white on white would go...

If you run stock ride height they will be fine but they will poke out ALOT. and unless you want to run 6 degrees of camber or more on a low setting then it just won't work either. So basically, I wouldn't recommend +20's for a daily. I'm sure the few people that have seen my car with the +35 offset will tell you it is aggressive enough.

I bought them from next level motoring in the USA. Paid on Friday, arrived on Wednesday. Not sure about everyone else but I thought that was amazing shipping time.
