Depends on front or back, and the wheel width. In addition to this, the spoke style and disk type will also affect lip size.

For example, on a x8.5 front setup, you can safelyly do +40 and get about a 1.5" lip. On a x10 rear, you can fo +44 and get about a 3" lip. This is all highly generalized since all the factors above contribute to and affect these numbers.

on top of what neo said, it also depends on the spoke design. for example on my hre 540r, i get 2" lip in the front and 3" in the back. but the same offset on the 840r, you get 1/2" more lip front and back. and the same (almost same) setup on the iforged you probably get a bit less lip in the front and more lip in the back

the offset goes together with the width of the wheel to determine where the wheel sit against the fender. however it doesn't have too much to do with how much lip you get

Thanks guys for the all the responses. The setup you see is the only set right in made right now. Unfortunately they wouldn't give me a setup, but instead, hook me up with a good deal.

I'm kinda pissed about that, and to think the guy who owns the company is an old friend of mine. You would think he would give me a set for driving my car all the way to vegas and leaving it with him for a week. I think I will am going to make a decision whether to get them or not when he comes back to me with a price. He was telling me that retail price on them is going to be around 1100 a wheel. Im not about to pay anything close to that.
Good Lord.... 1100/wheel are they forged?

damn, 1100 each retail, that's not cheap at all. like mark said, are they forged?

but well, i can understand the friend part, however i guess he has to make money one way or the other too. as long as you get good prices

These aren't your normal one piece Bazo wheels. They are trying to make a different line of wheels. These are 3 piece and can be custom made to order. I'm not trying to solicit for them, but these wheels look Awesome. Sorry the pictures don't do them justice.
He just came back to me with a price, and it was very good...so I am going to pick them up as soon as they are finished with them.


BTW: My current set will be for sale if anyone is interested. Work LS 19x10 19x8.5 with Nitto 555 (around a 1000 miles on them)

As soon as I get my new wheels, I will polish up the Works and post them in the Classifieds. It should be in a week or two. They have to adjust the offset of the back wheel to to fit my car.
