they dont look like 5" of lip to me though?
lip is a biproduct of width and offset plus disk size. get the lowest disc size you can will give the most dish possible. Then basically the lower the offset the more dish as the face of the wheel stays where it is and the dish moves outwards.
proper japanese wheels etc you need aggressive fitment for aggressive dish. these days companies purposely manufacture wheels to 'fake' the dish. Sometimes the spokes cover some of the dish so it isnt really all 'clean' dish it is a bit covered. Other times it doesnt.
but if i see a car with lots of dish and sunken fitment, it still looks worse than one with les dish and better fitment imo. So dont just go on dish size alone..

Some of this comes down to terminology.
For example, 1SWTGS says his is a 4.5" lip.
In my world, that is a 4" lip.
So, it depends on how and where you measure to/from.
I have 4" out back and nobody has ever complained.

cause I can claim like 6 or 7 inches in that case...
