Hi friends,

I am in dire need of someone that understands how 3-piece wheels work (l0l). I am currently working with 18x10 +13 (4.0" Outer Lip, 6.0" Inner) VS-XX rear wheels and it's improperly sized for the stock S14 body. Mind you I bought the car with the wheels already in place.

The issue is that the rear lip protrudes a solid 0.5-0.75" past the fender; the tire sits in such a way that the lip is the post protruding piece of the wheel. I am trying to figure out what specs (lip and inner barrel) would achieve a wheel that sits flush with the fender. Ideally I could reuse either the 4" lip or 6" inner barrel.

My logic thinks I can get a 3" lip and that should do, but would changing the inner barrel to 0.5" shorter make a difference or is that just from the suspension side and outside will be unaffected?
