 |

Of the 6.5 offerings has anyone seen a side by side comparison of the lip depth on the 6.5" BRMs. It appears the Flat 4 is the deepest but I haven't yet seen any pics of them side by side or any comparable angles on the EMPI vs. Flat vs. MWS etc.
Thanks in advance.

| I can't give you any width differences, but usually the lower the offset the wider the lip, depending on the style of wheel. |

Right, one would think so especially on these wheels. However a lot of wheels just start out with a thicker pad for lower offsets and a thinner one for higher offsets. I'm debating on just going with a gm bolt pattern wheel and narrowing the beam to accommodate the lower offset , however thats not exactly a "solution"
