Hello, I was wondering if anybody knows any nice wheels with a Deep Lip in the rear, I have an s13 4 lug, but I am thinking of doing the 5 lug conversion because theres alot more wheel options for it. I want at least a 4" Lip in the rear.. Any pictures or wheel brand/model would be helpful. 5 star would be prefered but any patterns would be considered

Thanks

if you want at least 4" lip, do a 5 lug

This wheel is 4.5" lip on a friends Z



Sportmax 962's have a 3.5" lip on 4 lug.

$800-$1000 is as cheap as a set of four real wheels get, unless you buy knock-offs. (see: Sport Max) If you want a bigger lip, you gotta pay to play...

And FYI, switching to 17's won't make your car any lower. 18's use a lower profile sidewall so the overall diameter is still the same as the stock wheels. Just get some coilovers and you can go as low as you want.

Thanks man, i think im going to go with coil overs.. to get that wheel gap out of the way.. off set is going to be an issue with a wheel that has a huge lip right? That white vert's wheels look like they stick out too much, hmm maybe some fender flares would make that look a lil better?

Those wheels are right up there with HRE on the price scale. And very hard to find.Thats if they are Koenigs.
