Lip size does not determine flushness. Width and offset will help determine flushness.
This wheel, 18x10.5+22, has 1.5" of lip, but it's flush.
This wheel, 18x10.5+18, has 4" of lip, but only sticks out only 4mm more than the wheel above.

so the lip is factored into over all width and is not a spec to be worried about, yes? i noticed in the two pictures above the wheel with the bigger lip has less offset and sits the same as the wheel with more offset and less lip. so if the two ( width and offset ) are praportional it will work.

Is anybody running these wheels? Maybe on a white 89+ mk3? That has pics
I want to see how they would look
so what is the max that you have seen work with our cars? even with rolling/flared fenders. and obviously stock is probably as small as youd want to go.
all depends on how far its flared. You get more room with coils overs as well.
Could run 11 +25 or +20 easily with roll and little pull.

I'm looking at buying some new rims and tires later this summer. The rims are 18x8.75 +20 in the front and 18x9.75 +20 in the rear.
Question number 1. Will that fit nicely without rolling the fenders or am I going to need to roll them for this to work?
Question number 2. What size tires will fit nicely? Maybe a very small stretch or even just straight up but no bulge.
Advice please.

i have an interesting idea that i believe more that one mk3 owner will be interest in. i want to know if you guys think that these would work on our cars. there the same bolt pattern and i believe that the offset is about +40

No lol. Im saying leave them open and band them. Cause they are cheap and are a five spoke wheel that can easily be painted. There perfect for a set of drift wheels so you dont mess up a really expensive pair
ya true.... i just think that those would look cool banded and you could fab them so they look clean. instead of the wavy looking spokes

265 or 255 rear and prolly a 245 maybe even 235 for the front. Depends on how low tho.
However low a set of Stance coils will set me at. None of that hellaflush stuff. I'll be at a decent ride height but I won't know until I buy the coils.hvyman;1919714 said:
