The largest trunk lip I have seen which is also basically the only non OEM looking lip I have seen is the Revozport "aggresive" style carbon fiber one...

To answer your question: You will not be able to fit a wheel with a lip larger than 3"-3.5" in the back due to the large brake setup.

3 inches is the widest you can go on the rear bc the offset is so high on our cars - its a shame they didnt give us flared fenders
my wheels on order hav a 2.5 inch rear lip bases on the spoke curvature...some others will allow a little bit wider - but i doubt you'll ever see wider than 3.5" on a stock car

haha my bad... I don’t think a lip looks good at all on the C63, it just doesn’t look right IMO... The best looking wheels are ones without a lip, like the HRE monoblocks...

Some 4 door cars DO look good with lips, like the BMW 5-series, but for some reason almost every wheel I’ve seen on a C63 with a lip just doesn’t look good IMO.
TunedC63 is the best looking C63 that has rims with a lip, I must say that if you insist on having a lip then check out his car on the Euroteck thread… His rims are hot!

That was just an example of the "style" I was referring to. They don’t necessarily have to be monoblocks, however my point was that rims without a lip look much better on most 4 door cars, especially this one since the rear wells are not wide enough to accommodate a proper lip such as a coupe would...

Yeah I must say it does look great 
I think its because you have a larger car with larger wheel wells... Your car and the 5-Series look great with a lip, but I dunno for some reason somethings off with the C63, cant figure it out...
