Sorry, wrong car...

5 inch lip, just needed a widebody kit

I would talk to RIJO... Work and Volk have some nice wheels that can have big lips. For what your looking for, you are stuck at custom ordering...

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.
it is narrow because that is the style it was for (VIP).I use the car for show so you need something wild. i had these wheels before i had the flare and I was going to get wider tires when I wore the tires set out but the wheels have since been sold after these pics were taken. I have 2 sets of wheels coming in, one for track that is a safe fitment and 1 for show with a 4.5inch lip.

the car drives well however, these are on the heavy side so accelaration is hindered, but this was my show wheel so it doesnt matter.

I also am curious about this. What are we looking at for lets say 1 inch drop and no fender rolling. I'd be happy with a 2 1/2 inch lip. What is the widest we can do with no rolling of fender? Must have been asked a million times but I'm curious and this would be a solid answer. thanks in advance.

You bought the wrong car if you want a big lip.

although you can acheive a small lip if you sacrifice tire width... its not quite the lip people think of when they see Deep Dish in their heads.
