if you want a big lip you would need a wider wheel.

How much lip do you want? how wide of a wheel? A wide wheel with low offset makes for sexy lip!!

Work Nezart have some nice lip in a 7" wide wheel. The offset is really going to determine the lip size

Get a 16x7.5in wheel with a +30mm offset.
Any new wheel manufacture (bigger ones) will make them for you. Youll just have to wait.

Also, with that width and offset not much fender mods will needed to be dont.

I don't really want to get any wheels made, do you have any in mind? I will do some searching and see what I can find in the mean time.
