Clearance for brake caliper.

High disk offers the most clearance and is usually needed for cars w/ big calipers. (Least lip)
Standard disk offers some clearance.
Low disk offers the least clearance. (Maximum lip)

so if i have to buy 2 new rear wheels for example and i know the lip is like 4 inches so looking on the wheel size chart at this link here i find my wheel size at 20x10.5 +29 offset (and this appears on the standard disk list) so i can only assume that it is a standard disk. my plan is to go with a 20x10 +23 since this seems to give the same 101mm lip size so i can run a slightly narrower tire and still have the same lip size. so when and if i order these 2 new rear wheels is this the one that should work?? thanks waijai and other,,,

As far as your rear wheels, you should be ok. Usually the concern is with the front brake setup.

Are you keeping your stock brakes in the rear? If so, you should be fine with either setup
