I'm currently trying to finalize the backspacing for wheels I have on order. The rear wheels will be 19x11.5 and I am going with the deep concave RB3C wheels for the rears, but due to the concave I need see if a 3.5" lip will look okay for what I am after or if I might be able to squeeze a 4" lip and if it will make a difference.

I've been looking at a lot of pictured posted but most only mention the BS and not the actual lip on the wheel. Any pics to help me determine what I'm after would be greatly appreciated.

Even if you have pictures of larger wheel lips post them up and let me know the width in case I can't find any pics of the sizes I'm looking for. It may help me make a final determination.

Thanks for posting these step lip pictures. It at least give me an idea on how far the flat lip rims will be. They were'nt sure if it would be 3.5" or 4" but I hoping it's a little closer to 4".

Anyone else have some examples to share? Thanks.

Not the best pic, but here is my '69 Vette with 4" flat lips in the rear.
