I guess I'll be the first - 4" Lip - here I come
should look similar to the wheels in this thread (with hte exception of the few mm different offsets, finish, bolts). The lip (as I understand it will be slightly different depth, even though he has a 2.5 and 3" lips, BECAUSE of the 2 piece VS 3 piece wheels??)

Rear 4" Lip / Front 2.5" lip.
I think 4" would have been fine on your car with the correct offset. It depends on the style of the wheel (M3 looked ghastly to me). I wasn't concerned about the size of the lip WHATSOEVER, I didn't care if it was 2" or 5". Once it sits in that HUGE wheel well a lip looks right at home. I did however want a 10" rear wheel to take up a lot of the rear end of the car from behind. The Z looks like a skateboard with undersized axles (trucks) in stock form (a la Supra). I really don't like that overweight look. Push some wide wheels "out" and in my opinion it looks like it should have from the factory. Lip or no lip.

Sorry guys, I really want to get some more posted. I'm out until Thursday and these are all I have on my laptop. I'll get some more taken and posted as soon as I get back. They may be wet, it looks like the whole west coast is getting hammered with rain. I'll take them in the rain...I'm not afraid!

(my 2 bros are coming to town on Friday, so I want to keep it clean until they see/drive it), driving my other car the past couple days has sucked.
