I've seen a whopping 11 inches before.

Don't know if his fenders were rolled though.

You can squeeze a 295 wide tires on the rears (10.5 or 11 inch wide rim). If you don't lower than you can get away with not rolling the fenders on the rears.

With the Brembos, you must take into account to get the proper offset to clear the calipers (especially on the fronts). Depending on the rim, you'll want to consider offsets in the low 20s (i.e. +20, +22, etc.) for the fronts and high 20s to low 30s for the rears. Higher offsets will get you a wider lip - especially on the rears. It's crucial to get the proper offset to clear the fronts.

I roll with 9.5 inch wide rims with +20 on the fronts and 10.5 with +20 for the rears. I could have gone with a higher offset for the rears but I prefer to have a symmetrical look to the rims between front and rear.

FYI, this should be in the wheels / tires section.

I'm Running 11" Junction Produce rears that has a 5" lip, with 295/35/19 tires. I rolled the fenders and they got naturally rolled more, with the car dropped so much. I had to raise the car more, and I still scrap on certain bumps, and that is why a custom wide body is going on. Stay 10.5 or under and you should be fine.

Volk 10.5's give you good rear lips....

if you go custom, like DPE, iForged, or HRE, then they may be able to get you more rear lip.....

My offset was +19 front and +17 rear with my volks, you get a good idea of the size of the lip with this picture. (I did have brembos by the way)
