Arrow What's the biggest lip done in the rear of an ISX50?

I know people have fit 20x10.5 low 30's offset with a 3.5" lip.....

Has anyone pushed the envelope and done a 4" lip on an aggressive size/offset in that sizing?

Obviously cutting/rolling the rear fender will need to be done....

Pics please!

hm,,,I wanna know this for myself too,,,but in 19"s lol
I think it's possible to do
19x10.5 with high 10's offset or 19x11 with mid to high 20's offset...

but I'm more concerned about being able to slam and tuck with that super aggressive offset,,so I guess mine will always be little LESS aggressive than you.....LOL

Wheel specs are ok just the design of the wheel gives it a big lip

ohhh well if the forging comes into play, the question is:

What's the biggest lip done in the rear of an ISX50 with FLAT forging...

Not curved forging....

I'm pretty sure it can be done,,
if you go air,,then your offset will depend on WHAT look you going for?
do you wanna look aggressive but still be able to slam it?
or
do you wanna go for HELLA FLUSH look?
(you can go SUPER CRaZY aggressive if you want hella flush look)

and all of the above requires fender modding...shaving,,rolling,,pulling,,

3.5 is the biggest u can go on a 3 piece wheel without having curved spokes/face. if you want a curved face something like this but uglier ) ....you can a 5 inch lip.

and the way u measure lips correctly is from where the tire beads sits to where it meets the the inter barrel

im talking about flat forging...

IMO, those with the curved forging are stealing away from those with the nicer forging which is flat...

I absolutely DESPISE wheel companies that use the curved faces, but thats IMO

I know someone that is putting a 4" rear lip on his ISX50 WITH flat forging....

Thats why i started this thread... i want to know if hes going to be the first...
