Right here...did you check out the wheel sticky?...any reason why your going so wide?...nothing wrong with that if your planning on tracking or have the WHP to back it up

Well the question is how much modifications to your fenders are you prepared to do

Alright if you're going to do it PLEASE for the love of god keep the wheel and tire under the fender. And match your tire to the width of the wheel. Tired of seeing 225s on 11" wheels. Looks terrible, drives poorly, and isn't safe.

That being said I know that you can fit up to an 11.5" inch wheel under the fender with a 315 tire if you aggressively roll or cut your fender. Without that, you're looking at about an 11" wheel with a 295 max as long as you have the right offset.

If all you're going for is lip, a wider wheel is not necessarily going to net you more lip, it depends on the offset. You can achieve the same effect with wheels that are less wide but with a lower offset over a wide wheel.

In the end you will have the same lip width on a 10" versus a 13", etc... All of the rest of the width will go into backspacing.

I'm with him.

low offsets AND get S LOW disc= big lip
no need for the "widest rim possible" if you're just looking for lippage

there are CCW's with custom supra offsets that are 11 wide and sit flush with the body, minimal fender mods if any

^, downside is that CCW's don't offer much lip in relation to other wheels with the same offset.
