Default which wheels give the deepest lip...

Ok guys...

I just finished my SC300... but am thinking about getting another set of wheels.... Ive been going though a lot of wheel catalogues and wanted to know if anyone knows which wheels will give you the deepest lip....I am only looking for a quality wheels with staggered fitment..prolly 8.5" and 10"...

My favorite right now is the zauber gettins... which I have a set for daily driver wheels on the SC300...They have a pretty good lip for a weak offset...19X8 +41 offset...super low disc (with 5mm spacer in front to clear brake) it has almost 3 inches of lip all around....

I think the shape of the zauber center and spoke design offers good potential for a deep lip along with being a super low disc...

my question is: Are there any other wheels of "quality" that offer the potential for deep lip because of spoke shape and design of the wheel...
With offset and disc height being the same are there specific wheels that have the potential for deeper lip...because of spoke shape and design of the wheel....


I know that RH and TSW has new wheels that have designs that give you super lip... but Its kind of like cheating with those styles (no offense intended) and I dont like those styles...


I dont care about big brake clearances...my main goal is to get the deepest lips possible without going wide body...

I also have a new set of RO-JA R2-5 (same as 57f pro gramlights rebadged) at a super aggressive offset and my zaubers have just about the same lip. 19X8.5 +25 F high disc and 19X10.5 +42 R regular disc (with 5mm spacer).... I have about 3" lip in the rear and 2" lip in the front. I went with the stretched tire and rolled fenders to fit the wheels but dont want to pull fenders.... This will probably be the max offset I would like to go....





thanks in advanced!

since the Gettins are no longer been made, the closest in style and lips depth would be SSR Vienna Sovereign..

Default thanks...need more suggestions!

Thanks GS4will...

Yah I've been looking at the SSR Sovereign too..i like them too...



Thanks for the compliment blueGS400

I just repainted it to a GS400 spectra blue..It was pearl white before...along with doing the kit, graphics and new wheels...

Do you guys think the (Trafficstar) Maya DTS will give good dish?

anyone else have suggestions...Rominl? any other wheel gurus...

Which wheels have the most potential for lip?

Default Re: SSR Vienna Sovereign

I was curious as to whether or not the SSR Vienna Sovereign were available in high disk for the font, as i have the Supra TT BBK, and what kind of lip i could get in the back.

what about the work LS105, or the maido LS5 which are exactly the same wheel, work makes them for dazz, another suggestion is the iforged aero in chrome, thats an awesome yet simple wheel, also the 3 piece asanti af 112, just a few, these are just wheels i like and i think would look awesome on your car, u may or may not have different tastes, check out some links

These are the wheels I originally wanted, but ended up going another direction due to the lip size. Don't quote me, but I think the set-up I had looked at was a little over 1-1/2" (high) up front and a little less than 2-3/4" (low) for the rears. Not bad, but I wanted a more aggressive look without having to modify the fenders on a brand new vehicle. I ended going with a 2 piece forged wheel, which gave me a little more lip than the 3 piece.
