    Weird question about rims

    I really like the LM-5's, but I don't like the lip for it on the front wheels. I was wondering, if possible, if I could buy 4 rims that have the big lip (rear wheels), and put 2 of them on the front?


    Meaning i'll have a phat lip on all 4 wheels..get it?

    Thanks!!

    Well the Fat lip is from a wider rim. Like my carlssons the 18x9 Rim Has more of a lip than the 18x8 rim.

    So i am thinking that you would have to buy 4 18x9 rims. Or whatever size the Lorinsers come in with the fatter lip. But then you will problay be running into fitment and rubbing issues on the front. BUt it all matters on tire size, inner and outer fender rolling, lowered suspension and the offset of the rims.

    regards

    Depending on the offset.. You might need spacers
