Please Help!!! I need Sizing for After Market Wheels on My SL55

I'm thinking about buying some Asanti Black wheels for my SL55. I'm really trying to have the deep lip in the back rear wheels. I've seen some SL's with a 4 to 4.5 inch lip in the back but i'm getting told from Asanti Wheels that they only offer a 3.5" lip so basically the staggered set would be

20 x 9 x 2.5 in the front &
20 x 10.5 x 3.5 in the rear.

Is it possible to have 20 x 11 or 11.5 in the rear with a 4 to 4.5" lip? Your help is greatly appreciated.

of course. i have 20x9 in the front and 20x11 in the rear. 255/30/20 front and 305/25/20 in the rear. i have 20" iforged daytona which uses xtreme fit technology which maximizes the lips sizes. also DPE makes HUGE lips for SL's.

Thanks for the info.. By the way, Im loving the berry color interior on your SL. I have the black on black on mine which is nice but that berry looks so sweet. Anyways I'm calling Asanti first thing tomorrow to see if they can do the 20 x 11 rear wheels. Once the wheels come in i'll definitely post some pics!

SL 55
Contact Ben at wheels boutique.

He'll hook you up with the biggest lip possible. He used to have an SL55 so he know the offsets well.
