Default Deepest Deep That Can Be Deeped

I am one of those guys that loves the looks of a deep-dish wheel tucked under a car with wide-*** tires. Once I get some spare cash, I would really like to get the deepest dish possible on the rear of my SS without having to tub out the rear or get a wide body kit ( ) I wouldn't really mind rolling the fenders or banging in the inner fenders that much, but I don't want to do anything drastic. Right now, the wallpaper on my computer is the 2000 ZL1 Camaro Concept as seen here. That would be fa-reakin' amazing to acheive something like that. What do y'all think?

Dayum!! I had 315's on my 'Stang and I thought that was rediculously wide. I think that is about as wide of a tire I would like to run (maybe just a tad bit more, I'm not sure). The wheels on the ZL1 are Fikse's and there's no way I could afford those (this is my daily-driver too). It really seems that the deepest dish that is obtainable is from the TTII's. Is this correct?

You can run aftermarket 18x12s Z06s with a 335/30. There's a thread floating around with pics and what will be required to fit them. However those rims aren't deep dished. TT2s don't have much of a lip on them.

Check out iForged. Last i checked on some aeros you could get a custom lip size but custom lips only come in widest at 10. however, with an 18x10 you could go as deep as a 6" lip. Im sure they could make you some 18x12s with a huge lip if you wanted.

I like 2 + inches on the lip. The TT2s don't look that deep to me b/c they're stepped, not flat.

If you want to do things the right way, order a rearend that is narrowed 2" on both sides and go with a 10" wide wheel with a 5.5" backspacing. Then you can go with wheels with a 1st gen offset, like this:

How do they get a 6" lip of a 10" rim for our cars??? I was told the largest lip you could get in the rear was 3" to 3.5"??? I did not think the offsets would allow for that size of lip.

Beautiful! I really don't think I could afford to do something like that though

Can't go that small of a backspace unless you are moving suspension components. The least you can go is ~4 on a 10 inch wheel. Anything else is going to put the wheel too far out of the body.

We have our customers rear-ends shortened when we order them and custom build the wheels and rear-end as a matched setup which works out much better in the end and gives the nicer deep dished appearance many are after.
