Question Questions about L-sportline model 1 evolution wheels

Guys,

Could some one tell me the most aggressive offset that I may use on the GS4 with L-sportline model 1 evolution wheels (F19x8.5, R 19x10)? Considering the fact that my lowenharts had a flushed look with the +45 offset: and I didn't like that look, I would like for my new wheels to have a pretty decent lip on them. Would a +37 for the front and a +42 for the rear produce a decent lip and without rubbing?

I've used search and found a ton of information, but still don't know how to determine how large the lip will be. Also, with the l-sportline wheels do you guys think I will be able to use a factory lexus center cap with those wheels?

thanks for any help you can give me

You're saying the +45 was too flush? Or not flush enough? Were the front +45? Or the rear? Or both?
I would think a 19x8.5 +45 would look pretty weak, actually...

I am not sure you can even specify the offsets of the L-Sportline, so it may be a moot point.
American Rim Supply builds the 3-piece L-Sportline wheels, and I am pretty sure that their contract with L-Sportline would stipulate a preset offset for this application.

Contact Dazz for the offset .

SoCal , I have Model IV 20 x 8.5 chrome and on the back it is clearly marked Enkei which is part of the Hart group which also includes Lowenhart.

MasterG: You're right, but the Model IV is a cast one-piece wheel, which is made by Enkei.

The three-piece stuff (including the Model 1 4double0 asked about) is made here in California.

SoCalSC4,

When I say flush, I mean everything sit up front, there is hardly any lip. And yeah it looks really weak. I want that aggressive look.
