Default Lip Sizes-HP Evos or RPM 505's

Anyone out there have any clue which of these near identical rims has a bigger lip? I love the look of a nice wide lip but its hard to tell by photos which ones are bigger of the two....anyone?

Not sure on the 505's, but I'm running 19x8.5 front, 19x9.5 rear Evo's.
Front lip is about .5 inch, rear 1.5 inches. I get many a compliments on this set-up. Guess it depends what size your lookin at runnin.

I have Evos on all four corners, 19x9.5...the lip closer to 4" wide...not 1.5...!

19's are a bit too big for my taste. Do the 18 inch EVO's carry the same lip size as the 19in or does the lip size go up as the overall size of the rim increases?

99345hp- I was wondering if you would mind just take two seconds and measure the actual lip size in the rear/front, would you be able to do this, much appreciated.

sorry it took so long, but the lip is really close to 4". I just layed my hand on the lip and then measured where it came to. That is on a 19x9.5. I dont know what the lip is on the front, probably 2" or so on a 8.5.

My tire sizes are 275/30r19 and 245/35r19. The tires are nankang. Never heard of the brand till these, and I really like them so far.

Why cant i purchase the RPM 505's in 19x9.5's all around?? It only allows them in that size for the rears and 19x8.5 upfront (or 19x8 I forget) Whats the deal, I want the same size all around.

I believe 4'' is right. I've got 19x8.5 up front and 19x9.5s out back. I love it.

the place i ordered from I think they would let you order 9.5s in the front. If I had to I would call the company and see if they could put together a package for you.

Edit: I just looked again, and that website is just like you said. Its either 8.5s all around or staggered.
