Default How deep is your dish

I was looking for some measurements on the lip for deep dish rims and have not been able to find much. I was wondering if we could start a list of the type and size of the wheel. Then the actual measurement of the lip. It is hard to find the actual size on most of the company websites.

I would post mine, but I have a feeling your looking for wheels with a factory width rear. Mine has been narrowed.

thats the only way to get a deep dish look imo, all were going to see is a bunch of Staggered Wheels with min, lip. so many say there rims are deep dish but unless your doing a mini tub,cut down rear or what not there not deep dish.

I can understand what your saying, but I still think it would be nice to have a list that can be referenced for the people who are looking for a deep dish rim or a "deep lip"
