Another wheel fitment question

My all time favorite dish wheel. 
Now I'm going to tell you to make them fit.
You'll probably have to go down a few tire sizes, maybe 235 and 245. Shave the rears, roll the fronts, and lower the car as much as you can. If they still don't fit, you'll get away with a slight pull or using factory camber adjustments. Make them work!

I really don't understand the air thing yet but if it ever comes down to it, I learn as much as possible

If you don't have the coilovers already, you might want to research of air options if you're going the VIP route. Yeah those tire sizes sound about right to me but I have no personal experience with 20's. I'm sure someone can chime in here or VSC.

that's a lie.
The rear cannot have a 6.5" lip. That be more of a -25 offset. It's probably a 4.5-5" lip in the rear. You'd also have to have around a -20 on the front to have a 4.5" lip on the front.
You can fit these no problem, just need a good roll/bit of a pull in the rear. Front, will need a bit of a larger pull due to the wheel sticking out further when it sits on the hub.
It'll look good if you do it though.

It's all about the nomenclature, fellas.
That wheel manufacturer might call those a 6.0" lip... others might call it a 5.0" lip.
It all depends on where you measure it. Technically, you are supposed to
measure the lip from the back side and NOT include the bead at the
outer edge (typically 1/2").

Caoboy and SoCalSC4, this was brought up on VSC as well and to let you know these are not my measurements but the measurements of the owner. He actually told me the wrong offset so I know it is more aggressive than a +15 but I highly doubt it has 4.5/6.5 inch lip's on the wheels but they will still be really nice on my GS. I think he included the bead like SoCalSC4 stated before. Thanks for the suggestions guys. Hopefully, just rolling it to all hell will give it a slight pull, lol. I will see how much camber adjustment we will be able to get out of the stock suspenion.

you can make those work with 235's and 245's, but i would suggest 35's not 30's. max camber and shave the rears, and roll the fronts. im not 100% sure if the rears will tuck though. the lip may just fit outside of the fender
