Can you recomend any web sites??.. I was looking at the BBS CH.. The 18” 8” have an offset of 30, so they push the outer edge of the wheel a further 38mm compared to standard rims.. It could work with flared guards.. I have only been looking on Aust web sites thou, some of the OS sites might have more variety for the Subaru’s..

I dont' know about others, but I'd try to stick with the standard wheel widths and offsets to prevent rubbing. +30 is way too far out, you'll rub...

From my research the BBS rims with the appropriate wheel widths and offsets don’t have the correct stud pattern.. I just don’t think they make them with Subaru in mind at all.. The 18" 8" offset 30 , were one of the closest BBS sets I could find to Liberty standard wheel.. Most have different stud pattern or offsets of 18.. Hence I will probably go with the KAHN RSV's.. Might be able to get a suitable set in the 2 or 3 piece.. I have sent of a heap of emails to various wheel outlets.. I should get some replies today..

I received this from Wheel King - we do not have BBS available for Subaru.

You can get the STi limited BBS wheels... I think they are the equivalent of BBS GR or GH, from memory? But they aren't cheap. ;)

From what I can gather the STi changed stud pattern in the 05 STi (Liberty is only tuned by STi so retains the 5 / 100 stud pattern).. I think..

2008 STi BBS Silver Forged Wheels: 18” 8.5” with stud pattern 5 / 114.3..

a much more important question adam is.....
what the frick are doin' with your old (old,teehee) rim's.
let me be the first to say that to sell them to anyone bar someone who has the same name as you would be blasphemous, treasonous and perhaps just a little on the mean side :lol:

I see from previous forum topics you have been chasing wheels for a while, how could I not give you first dibs on them.. But yes I will most probably sell off, STi wheels, STi suspension, standard TMIC & brake rotors.. I still have parts in my garage from my GST when I had it a couple of years back, So I guess there is no real point keeping all this stuff.. I hope to be back in Australia in three to four weeks, and I am hoping at this point in time I will have all the new parts.. Car has done just over 1000km’s so parts are all as-new..
