Default Biggest Lip with Rear BBK Setup?

Looking at changing up my shoes so I was wondering what wheels out there provides the biggest lip possible with a rear BBK setup? Looking at either 19's or 20's only. Please post pics & specs.

Thanks!

^ Now that's the lip I'm looking into getting! Didn't you have to use spacers though? I'd prefer not to use spacers. What was your offset?

Nevermind. Just found some pics. Definitely a HUGE lip!



The style itself is okay though. I'll try to look at what else they AME offers. Thanks!

25 front and 30 rear, I prefer 20 front and 25 rear, but they are 9's and 10.5's, so thy are ok , also i usd 1/8 " spacer, so it clears my massive breaks, so a spacer isn't neccessary for the willwoods, as they are much smaller

my front wheel is 24 offset. No need for spacer James. GT-C shouldn't run into fitting issue. However, the lip doesn't look that deep (compare to your olw set)

^ I was actually thinking of those as well . The Piaa's would be good but they seem to be pretty heavy vs. what I have now. The SR's only offer up to 18's from what I can remember. Definitely still on my radar though.

i would say Veilside Andrew V, 19x14.5, but they are discontinued. There was also a volk GTC, 18x14.5, that would definitely give you a very big lip, and also the work VS,

James,

if you're not in a rush, ask Chris to custom order the GTC to ANY depth you want for the lips. If i order my next set again, i'll custom build it.

I have 19x9.5 + 24 offset Volk GT-7s in the back and they clear my 14" Stoptechs by only about 3 mm. I think they have a decent lip:

Probably. I'm ready to toss some more money at my 350Z since I just finished up turboing my Integra. I'm looking at the Eibach complete kit with springs, shocks, and sways. I'm definitely hitting a couple or three track events this year.
