If i bought say 3" lips (leaving the inner barrel alone), that means really I would have approx 2 1/2" - 2 3/4" of lip to "see"?
The rim face takes up a tiny bit of that desired size lip correct?
The face on my wheels bolts to the inner Lip, and protrudes over the outer Barrel.
kind of like Blitz 03's. have huge lips but the face takes up most of them.
Sorry if thats confusing.

If you're leaving the barrel and face the same, all you have to do is subtract 6~7mm(forget the exact measurement) every half inch to the overall offset. So in your situation, you have 5.5in barrels with a 2in lip right now. A 3in lip would make you wheels into 18x8.5 +33, 4in lip would make it 18x9.5 +21. Pretty sure you have A disk too, I have 18x8 +38 A disk vs-kf's. Hope that helps. Also, does anyone know where I could pick up the M7 Triple Square Bit Socket to take the wheel bolts off? Only found one place online and they're out of stock.
