well that where the problem is becase alot of the post here dont really go too deep in to how lip work when it come to offset and i think i should have name this thred whats the lowest offset you can have wit out wide body mods

General rule of thumb, the lower the offset, the more lip you'll get. However, there's is no "this offset on an (18 x "x") wheel will net you "x" much of lip." It comes down to the manufacturer and their center and spoke design. It's going to vary.

i.e. SSR Professor SP1 (18 x 10.5 et 30) ~ 4 inches of lip
i.e. CCW Classics (18 x 11 Supra/SC fitment) ~ 2 inches of lip
i.e. CCW LM5 (18 x 11 Supra/SC fitment) ~ 2.5 inches of lip

Don't quote me on the CCW specs, those are just the numbers I got from a rep regarding BBK fitment.

Any wheels 10 inch and wider with negative offsets is going to require body work to fit with a decent amount of rubber. You will be required to run stretched tires to fit those on a stock body.

well thanks for that tho bro, and i guess you have to pays to play because this **** is ****ING HARD lol i think i am just going to give up and go widebody lmao at that point il just put on whatever i ****ing want, but i am still seeing whats out there. at the end of the day i really didnt want to run strectced tires just because the roads in nyc are so **** up that if i hit a pothole the wrong way the tire can pop on me which isnt something i want.
