FYI - David is messing with you...for the most part.

4.5 inches is about the largest lip you can do with a stock body (depending on wheel design, some companies put goofy spoke designs that cave way inward to make it look like a giant lip). Even this will require cutting or rolling your fenders depending the offset and diameter of the wheel.

Eibach Sportlines supposedly give a nice drop from what I have read, though you'll probably also want to look into new shocks/struts as well to compensate for the shorter shock stroke.

depends on the wheel, depends on the offset, depends on if your fenders are rolled, depends on if you search before you submit a new thread.

I'd recommend Eibach Sportlines and Work VS-XX's if you want a fat lip

eibach sportline springs/tanabe lowers you a good inch but maybe settles to 1 1/2,depending how wide,camber and offset you big you can go...or you can buy my rims =)and call it a day.

PIAA super rozza has around 4.5" rear lip (19x10 +25 size) and no modification required. I know because I had a set. with 275/35/19 tires you could probably put a 5mm or maybe even 7mm spacer on the rears without having to roll fenders. Obviously depends where the camber is set too.

Run some negative camber, negative offsets, and stretch your tires... you can easily get 6" no problem. here's mine (5.43")
