Default How much lip??

Getting ready to order wheels and was wondering what everyone's opinion was on how deep of a lip looks the best on a wheel for a 69 Camaro??

Do you mean lip or dish? If dish then I say as deep as possible.

I meant dish. I really like the way your car sits and the amount of meat on the tires.

I take it you don't have the rear end yet? And will be going with a narrowed rear end. If that's the case, I think 4-5" looks good.

I'm going with a Ford 9 with DSE mini-tubs. I was thinking 4-5" would be good.

Thanks for the pics. It looks like I'll have about a 5-1/4" dish. 19 x 10 in the rear with 4-3/4" bs.

Actually that will probably be closer to 4.5-4.75" as you have to allow for the center section thickness...never the less it will look good!! My new wheels have a 4" dish...this will give you an idea.
