I need deep dish and not pizza
 
Ok everyone this is what i want to know.
I have an 85 GSL-SE, I have been trying to get some rims with a lower offset than the factory recommends. The reason being I would like to have atleast a 2.5 to 3.0 inch lip. Now I know the Gsl-se have a high offset and there for we are looking at basically face rims (little to no lip) I understand the lower the offset the more the rim will stuck out past my fenders. I know that there are fender flares but I would like to accomplish this without the flares. Has anyone run a lower offset than factory, and what offset did you run. Or what would be the lowest offset I can get so the rims in tire just kiss the fenders. If any of you have pics that would be even better.
I go into a "Rim shop" and I had to tell them the offset on the car , and then the guy gets on the computer and shows me rims from a web site, I can do that myself, I was hoping he would be more help but he was not....
As you caan see in the pic below I have FACE rims with a high offset not really the look I am looking for.
I'de like to see some gsl-se with fender flares and low offset rims aswell just in case I cant get it done with out the flares..
Thanks ahead for your help.

You can run Sportmax wheels in a 15mm offset and they will fit...OR anything with a 20mm will also fit our SE.

BTW.. I thought you were selling her???

aha
an answer great so some sportmax at 15mm offset, great
And yes she WAS for sale but I got tired of low ballers
And I was only selling to raise money for a new house, but I found the money, and decide to keep her...... A WISE CHOICE IMO
I love my RX7
