I have a pair of 18x8 +42 inch Racing Harts C2s that i would like to get new outter lips for. the lips are 40 hole lip. Effectivly i want a 9.5 or 10 wide wheel.

Here is a Picture to try and illustrate what size lips i have




Im pretty sure the lips i have now are only 1 inch lips given you are supposed to measure the width of a rim from bead to bead, so the curved edge seen in the pic above shouldnt be measured (please correct me if im wrong)

Again my Wheels are 18x8 +42 as of current

Here are my Calculations (provided i do have a 1 inch lip) If i add a 3 inch lip to my existing face and barrels i will be adding (-24) offset to the wheel which would make my wheels 18x10 +18.

(please correct me if i am wrong)

and 10 wide may be too wide so i was thinking just adding a Lip that is just 1.5 wider or a total of 2.5 wide which would give me 18x9.5 +25.

It'd be 18x9.5 +22, not 25.
