Default biggest size lip on wheels

Whats the biggest size lip you can get on wheels? I saw a guy at the dealership today who said he wanted a 4.5" lip.

it depends on the design of the wheel, offset, ride height, fender rolling, etc..

nah! that is not a lip. Look at the wide body Zs they have huge lips.

13" wide wheels -18mm offsets. I guess that would be something like a 6.5" Lip.

CRAZY!!!

That's an interesting design on that wheel. The spokes hit the sides in the middle of the 5" so it doesn't look bad. The rest of the "lip" past where the spokes almost touch the edge just seems like the rest of the wheel. It doesn't look like a 5" lip, if that's the look you're going for, though IMHO that's a good thing.
