Wide.. I liked the thin lip on my bird. But after I got the wide lip on (thanks ponyhater) I Really like them a lot better.

I think wide lip will look great on your whip..

Nah, the car is a V6 and the deep dish has a 17x11 rear. I don't want 315's on a V6. I do like the wheels though.

Hey man you can't go wrong either way. I had the wide lips and then traded with Scream and now I have the thin lips and they both look good!

Guys, I told you already. I would love to get the wide ones, but I am not going to put 315's on a V6. I must stick to the 17x9.5
