Deep dish? Big lip? Possible?

RL1924 · 07-09-2008, 06:07 PM

I know its tough to find wheels and am starting to get the hang of it but my question is it impossible to have a wheel with a big lip in the rear? I love the look of a big lip in the rear and not so much in the front but with the offset issues is this not possible at all?

Go to wheelstudio.com. They feature a few staggered sets with big lip rears with the appropriate off sets from Ti in 18inch. I don't know if its your taste but it just wanted to provide you with a few examples I discovered when searching for staggered wheels for my S.

Also I was recently getting new tires for my car and I was talking to a dealer at discount tire. He was telling me, when I had time, to come in and sift through the large book of wheels they offer and he assured me he could accomodate the high offsets for the S even more so than their website.

Hope this helps.

K i found these wheels
http://wheelstudio.com/catalog/produ...&staggered=yes

Im pretty sure its a setup of fronts 18X7.5 ET 48 i guess thats 48 offset?
rears 18X 8.5 ET 45 So these should work according to the "wheels that will fit guide thing"

If anyone can that knows there stuff can confirm this would put me at ease im new to it and still figuring this all out.
