It seems like you have "dished" wheels. How wide is that dish?

I have been told because of the high millimeter offset there really is no "proper" way to install dished wheels.

We'll I guess there is, but I have been told that the OEM ride would significantly (even more so than expected) lower if the wrong fit-ment of wheels are put on.

Well i dont remember exactly how big the lip is b/c I got the rims in April 2003. The are 19x8.5 front and 19x9.5 rear. I liked the rims b/c it had the biggest lip.

I dont think the rims suffers from the dish/lip size but from the lack of tire height. The OEM rims ride alot smoother but corner terribly.

I Love the fat lip on my Axis "Matrix" rims - 19 x 9.5 in the back (pic attached).

I guess you could say my rims were DSL's..

the pic doesn't do justice but you could fit a cigarette pack length wise on the rear wheels.

I like those Lowenharts!
