Trying to figure out how deep of a lip can be had on stock length axles and tubs.

The flat part of the lip measures 2" front and back.
The wheel edge flares out maybe 1/2" where it meets the tire.

Running an 18X10 and 18x9 Combo on my Fox. The 18X10 was rubbing on fender lips and was tearing up the tire.

Ending up massing the fenders and flaring a little. Did not help I was lowered significantly.
