Default BIG LIP

I have a MY06 and I'm in the market for some new shoes. I know everyone has their own preference, and mine is one with a big lip. I want to get the biggest lip without having to get spacers or any other modification. I am willing to go as high as a 19inch wheel. What are your PERSONAL recommendations? Tirerack and discount tire don't have much in that department. Thanks for the advice all.

you have to do some mods to get a big lip. stock wont even be close:

4inch lip here: 2.5 camber with flared fenders. this will also work on stock bodied S with 3.2 degree camber and rolled fenders. its now for sale. pm alleykat for more info.

It looks to me like the rear tires are a size or two too narrow for the wheels...if you can't fit the proper sized tire on the rim and keep it from rubbing, I'd prefer to have the wheel narrower so that the tire fits it right instead of the wider lip.

the "stretched" look is very popular in almost all enthusiasts. Drifters, VW's, Hondas....

It's not my thing either. Reminds me of this:
