I was under the impression after looking at photos and pics of your rides that it was possible to have a 3-4 inch lip on the rear. Since the wheel was 19*11 that we mostly use I am trying to compare and find out. Your help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

 

3" is possible but with 4" i don't think it will clear the brakes of the car.

 

what lip did you put on your champions--rear and front?

TIA

 

my champion rg19's have a very small lip, maybe 2 inches in the rear,
anthony has no lip, techart formula. (unless he changed em)
i think iforged claims that they have the technology for the biggest lips on there new wheels, check em out. i think they have 4inches.
do you like the deep look?

 

I have a c4s cab w/ DPE wheels, rear lip is 4 inches front is 2 inches, iforged can give you 5 inch lip with the precission series but for me it looks to bowed looking (staggered), 4 inch looks perfect imo....good luck.

 

yeah, i think that the deeper lip makes the wheel look smaller.
plus greater chance for bending...
if you like the deep look i think 3-4in should suffice.

 

Reminder that......lip depth is not a wheel dimension.
The style of wheel, it's diameter(17-20"), it's ET(width), and it's offset are.
Lip is simply as function of a particular offset on a given wheel.......for instance, 45mm offset will generate dif lip on dif wheel.

 

But it is possible to have a 3" lip on a wheel for a 997C2s?

Most companies would be able to produce these right?

 

dmoney just posted that iforged has a 5inch lip.

of course you can have 3 inch lip, you can even have a 1 inch lip .

i think 3in will look fine

 

That is the problem, I bought some wheels that I thought had at least a 3" lip and instead they have a 1.5" lip on the rear. Most people would prefer the look but I would rather have the bigger lip. I have not mounted the wheels or even taken them out of the box. I am going to try and trade them back or maybe sell them.
Thanks Raffi

 

what kind of wheels did you get?

 

Hey, They are Rennworx wheels.

 

My Avus wheels have a 3in lip with a 50mm offset on the rears..

 

Well, Nick@thespeedgallery.com, was the guy who hooked me up with the rims. He offered to take back the wheels if I want something different to make sure that I was happy. I am simply amazed that there are still a few good guys out like Nick who stand behind their products they sell and offer to take them back to make sure their customer stays happy. I would def. tell anyone who wants A++ service and looking for a great deal to seek Nick out and use his business if they need anything.
After speaking to him, I found that not every company makes a huge lip for a our cars and that 2inch lip would be an average size. He contacted work wheels and could get me another set but waiting the 6-8weeks to get them would not justify the 8-10mm more of a lip they can get me.
So i might just keep the ones I got. I have an option to find some HRE ones and or another wheels all together but since I have these wheels just sitting in my office right now, I might throw them on and latter on get something different.
Long story short, I am amazed that there are still some great companies out there and people who believe and stand by customer service as being an important part of business.

yeah nick has been around here for a while, he helped me buy wheels from another 6speeder when he worked at another shop on sunset.
He is a great guy. I think you will find that most of the vendors here are...
