1. Try and post in the wheel and tire tech forum. (if a mod could move this that would be coo)2. Your question has a lot of variables. Tell is what wheel brands you want, offset, what suspension you have, what size tires you would like to run, do you have widebody fenders? stock body? stock body with fenders rolled?

Your question doesn't really make much sense.

You need to decide what wheels and tires you want, and decide what suspension you want, then worry about the bodywork, that way you have an idea what you are working with.

Do some research, look at pictures, find out whats been done, and what you think looks good. Form a plan, know your goals, and build a car worth calling your own.

flatblackian, he is talking about the lip on a rim, but I could see why you thought he was talking about a lip on a bumper. as for the question at hand, I think a 6 inch lip is pushing it, possible for sure, widebody kit, flared if needed, and the right offset, but alot of modification would be needed in the end.

yea dude. its cool though, we all tend to read too fast sometimes but i guess i would like to put 20x11s on the back if they have them anyways lol... with 19x8s onthe front with a 3inch lip with a little meat on the tire, to many rough roads in la. im nat sure what the offset would have to be. hella staggered for sure. but when i drop it i would love for it to tuck just covering the tires.

anythings possible with the money

but for your requests you might want to go to DUB mag or somethings

i got 17X10 in the rear and i rub like a mad and have like a 2 inch drop

for 20X11 ???? hahahahah you will need to remove most of the rear quarter panel / wide flare with a kit or something

and i dunno about the offset on the wheels

DO YOU EVEN HAVE WHEELS PICKED OUT????

i need to see this

^Um probably 15 yrs old.

6 Inch lip on a rim that's wider then 9' on an S13 is going to be a totally custom job.For a 3 inch "rear lip" with 20x11 rims on an S13 then you are looking at 50mm over rear fenders, an offset of +63 and you are going to need a nice set of coilovers to lower your S13 because 20' wheels will look funny.I would stick with 17's and 18's if you want to go crazy.

Also look into some aero for the car. Like side skirts and rear bumper and front lip...The added height of you car will make it look retarted.

ok this is an easy answer

step 1: convert the lip size you want into mm (6")x25.4 = 152.4mm

thats the outter measurment you want from your wheel

now a zero offset on that would be a 12" wide wheel

now that is a huge wheel, but you can always go negative offset so for every 1 inch that you take off the 12" width you need to make the offset a -25.4mm

good luck finding that beastly wheel
