What parts are needed to make my Fikse wheels have a deeper lip?

I've got Fikse Profil 5 wheels (18x10) and (18X11) and they are C5 vette offset, so there is not much lip at all. What parts are needed to give them a nice, deep-dish look?

Oh yes! There's definitely some truth here. IMHO, you're going to have to install a narrowed rear end to get a nice deep dish look....along with different hoops for your wheels.

What are you guys talking about? This is simple, at-home, DIY stuff.

Go get a screwdriver. Post up in here when you have one and we'll go from there.
