All GTS that i got coming in WILL HAVE an 5in LIP.19X9.5 ET17+19X10.5 ET17.So who ever order the wheels with me will be getting the gangsta lip.

I own a 350Z, some other guy! That is trying to sell GTS wheels don't even own a 350z AND never even seen this wheel in person.

The picture you see is the +17.

Ok here's to answer your question..

Lip size when you order the wheels
front wheel:
19x9.5 +30 (81mm) or 19x9.5 +17 (94mm) both will clear bbk
rear wheel:
19x10.5 +28 (107mm) or 19x10.5 +18 (125mm) if you have bbk in the rear I would recommand 19x10.5 +17 (107mm)

Low offset do give you bigger lip but if your pad (thickness of your hub) is high (made to clear over your bbk or stock brembo) then that would make your lip size smaller, vice versa..

+17 should fit fine remember w/ such aggresive offsets +17 or +18. . . fender rolling/cutting would most likely be necessary

I hope you are right and there was just a typo, because he did type +17 for the 10.5 rears having a 5" lip...

Here is the info I have come up with
Straight from Rayswheels.co.jp:

Converted from mm to inches,

94mm 3.7008 inches +17 x 9.5
107mm 4.2126 inches +17 x 10.5
125mm 4.9213 inches +18 x 10.5

The +18 offest for the 10.5 wheel indeed has the biggest Lip.
I personally ordered a 19x9.5 +17 19x10.5 +18 setup.

That is exactly what I come up with. It seems that everyone who ordered +17 is not getting a 5" lip in the rear.

As Volk350Z mentioned, it has to do with the pad height of the wheel as well.
