Depends if you're using a stock or a widebody kit.

Plus depends if you want your wheels tucked in or Gawd forbid, sticking out past your fenders, which for some odd reason some people actually seem to like

You can run a 11'' wide wheel in the rear no problem.

I have Volk GT-V's, 19x10.5 in the rear +24 offset, and they have a 4.25" lip. The fronts are 19x9.5 + 30, and have 2.75"

I believe the GT-AV has the same lip as well.

the key is to get the right offset, a 10 inch wheel with the wrong offset may stick way past the fender. just throwing that out there, i know most people know that but 2 years ago when i was looking for my first set of wheels i had no clue.

It's all in the offset of the rim. You have alot of research to do in order to get a really deep lip. I thought my rims were deep, but there's others out there with deeper lips than mines. GOOD LUCK on your search!

Offset is very important in getting the right lip size for your taste.
