Offset and DEEP LIP GT7s HELP!!

OFFSET/LIP GURUS!!!

I want to get a set of diamond black gt7s to fit my 04 NON brembo coupe....what offset should i look for to get a nice biiiiiig lip??

this is what one vendor sent me...

19X8.5 +23 / 19X9.5 +24

19X9.5 +30 / 19X10.5 +24

I am thinking of going the 10.5 inch rear but based on that offset will i have the same size lip?? does offset even affect lip size???

offsets are rim specific. your +22 all around wont comprare to the lip size he's going to get on his gt-7s.

i think +24 front/back is the most aggressive non custom offset you can get for gt-7s. since you dont have brembos, you can order +12 for EXTREME lip !
too bad your camber will be all fvcked up and you'll have to roll them fenders.

I just got my GT-7's in Diamond Black... 9.5F +30/ 10.5R +24,
Ive got a 4.5" rear lip and about 3" front and they will clear BBK (even tho I dont have them yet).

Im lowered on Eibach's with about a -2.3deg R camber. So far no rubbing even when pushing hard in the corners but I only have about 3/8" clearance betwen tire and fender at best. I would recommend not pushing the lip size any bigger.

nice, but your labia sizes are:
69mm = 2.7"
106mm = 4.17"

what made you go with the +30 offset in the front, and not the +17? dayam, black on DG is sick. i should've done that.

sorry I was off by 0.3 inches.. I dont want to mislead anyone!

I chose the +30 offset for the front for two reasons... 1. I liked the way it looked and 2. It was in stock and could be mounted the same day I bought the wheels.

I was uncertain about the black wheel on DG but Im very pleased with the way it turned out.
