big lip question
so i got a question ive seen some of you guys with big lips in the rear like 5in or so rolling pretty damn low and i dont see too much camber or too much of a fender mod.
so my question is how are you you rolling that low on a lip of atleast 5in in the rear with what looks like little to no fender pull at all? and not crazy camber also.
also reason for my question is that my wheels im putting on soon has a 5in rear lip pokes bout an inch or so but it was only a test fit since i dont have tires yet, still finding the right sizes.

ca you give examples of members running 5" rear lip with little to no camber or fender mod?...it will have to be one or the other...more camber less fender mod...or more fender mod less camber...I have 5" rear lip and will soon have 6" rear lip...I am only running -6 camber but I also had to pull my fenders a lil bit. If you go less fender work...you will most likely need adjustable suspension other than coilovers so you can bring it in with more camber...
p.s. if i am giving wrong information then please ignore lol...
you can see my setup on my recent thread..good luck!

1. They have a good pull, so you don't notice.
2. The back pad on their wheel face is as small as possible (super low disc face).
3. The have wheel faces that curve in a lot. Lets you get a bigger lip (Fabulous profounds for example).
4. Alot of cars also look nice slammed in pictures but have to ride down the highway aired up with the wheels poking out.
If it was easy to get that size lip on the car everyone would have it. I just rebuilt my ssr gt3's with a 4.5 inch outer and 6.5 inch inner and it pokes a little at 19x11+24. Only about 3.75" of the lip is exposed after the face is put in, but it's good enough for me.

OP, No way you can run 5in lip with no fender mods or a good amount of camber. I'm about 5inch lip with about -6.2 camber on stock body.
Possibly you can run super weak offset with big lips, but theres a chance it'll hit your strut tower.

i guess i just didnt want to run excessive camber like -9 or something and or pull on my fenders a lot, i mean mine are shaved but i really dont want to pull on the rears much. im still finding the right tire size and more than likely ill probably camber it to fit it.
this is what im dealing with:

camber/toe arms for sure but was hoping not to pull, but oh well. your fitment does look good, how wide are your wheels and tires? if you dont mind me asking, mine are around 13 edge to edge and im thinking maybe a 275 or 265.
any advice helps me save time and money lol.

My Wheels are 19x11.5 & tires are 245/35/19. I'm not even done with my qtrs yet lol. I also had to tub the inside of my wheel wells. I'll start finishing it up next year. So you have 19x12s? You can stay away from pulling if you use 245/35/19s and run stupid camber lol but be prepared to buy tires
