    you mean you want lip! Offset and setback of the rim can make a 8.5" or 9.5" look like a 7" after all. I run 8.5" front 9.5" rear.

    Mine when my centers used 18" stepped outers, and the suspension was sitting too low to work right:


    After I had it converted by Kinesis to 17" "reversed" outers using the same centers ("reversed" is the terminology used for a flat lip) and suspension was sitting at the height where it works well:

    front now @ 17", stock size, 225x45-17 ; when 18" was 225x40-18. Offset is unusual at +29 mm both front and rear (the same forged centers front or rear with 17" or 18" outers so it makes sense).

    thats the newest reiger front bumper, and his hood is custom with an SL style hood mod. C43 sides with C36 rear bumper, and his car has a turbo with healthy-sized innercooler in the front bumper.

    to me the car wouldn't be the same without his custom hood, IC, and custom fender flares. it's trully a unique, and tasteful match.
