This may be a stupid question, but hopefully someone can clarify this for me. When you throw a step lip on a wheel to increase the diameter, do you need to rebarrel them as well? Cause the ones I've seen appear to have a larger diameter in the front than the rear...

If you are going from a 17" reverse or flat lip wheel to an 18" step lip wheel, you must get new lips and new barrels.
