Exclamation VOSSEN QUESTION: Does Offset determine Lip depth?

hi guys

I have heard sometimes offset can determine lip depth? I want to ensure a deep lip with my VOSSENS I plan to order.

Also the recommended offset to tuck right behind the fender, so when I DO lower it, it will fit nicely

Any info on this?

if you PM me your email address I'll give you the link to an offset thread (different forum that we can't link to on here) that very nicely explains anything about offset you need.

also, when you are ordering just tell Vossen (or whatever company) how you want it set up and they should be able to determine the right offset for your specific needs.

what are the voosens in your mind?
Let me know what kind of drop you want, what offsets you are thinking about?
I've already owned two vossens and I ll be going for third one soon!
Let me know if I can help.
