Wow thanx alot guys
Just out of curiousity, to increase the size lip you would decrease your offset to what the vehicle can handle? I dont get how that would work.
Would a 20x10.5 with offset say at 27 be smaller than a offset say at 22?

The offset is howfar the hub is from the centre of the wheel in milimeters
Take a hypothetical wheel:
If the wheel has a "lip" and is say 10J ( 10J is the width of the wheel )
at a offset of ET:40 the hub and thus spokes are 40mm fron the centre of the weel ( towards the outside), so are near the outside of the wheel, and you dont have much of a "lip"
Now the same 10J wheel with a offset of ET:20, the hub is now onlt 20mm from the centre of the wheel, so you have a bigger distance from the hub to the outside of the wheel , thus giving it a bigger "Lip"
On the wheel you gave the "lip" whould be smaller on the ET:27
