kind of hard to get a big lip without rolling the fenders because our car runs such high offsets. HRE can get some pretty nice sized lips on their rims that have high offsets.
how much are u looking to spend?

Dang Sinji I knew you had some lippedge, I didn't realize that it was 5 inches worth!! That's ridiculous!
To the OP though, it's gonna be hard to get a great stance without a drop and a crazy lip will be hard without some inner fender mods.

mine has a slightly aggressive lip (definitely not 4"-5" 
) but I still had to roll my fenders, shave the inner fender lining, relocate the bumper tab, stiffen up the coilovers, and add some negative camber.

First of all if you want wheels then its like mandatory to lower your car -unless- your also into 4x4'ing.
Second of all if you want big lips good luck getting it without rolled fenders or camber.
Plain and simple the s2k is a high offset car.So if you want big lips expect to roll your fenders,along with using some camber and a tire stretch depending on how crazy you wanna go.
Sorry I dont have a better pic but heres mine.Thats a 18x10.5 rear +39 offset,slammed,shaved fenders,stretch tires and some camber.

I understand the handling is supposed to be much better (and thus more tire wear) but how about ride quality? How much does it suffer for someone who uses s2 as a DD? For wheels with high offset (like HRE) do you still have to to to fender work? Do you have to do fender work even if you don't lower?
Sorry for all the "?" but they are important to know beforehand. Thanks in advance guys
