I've never heard of that being an issue w/ flat lip rims and haven't had that problem with any flat lip set ups I've had in the past. I think flat lip also allows you to have a deeper looking rim b/c the lip is one continuous section and the rim may also look larger as you can use a larger diameter face on a flat lip rim. It is definitely a more old school look but it can look more unique in today's age where most set ups are step lip. Here's a nicely executed flat lip set up. Compare this to @Trini 's step lip set up of the same MLE81/LE81 BC Forged rims to get a feel for the differences on the same rim design btw step vs flat lip:

20" square wheel setup
What I want is to find a set of 20" / 20" wheels to replace the 20" / 21" OEM set up. Tire Rack says that there is a set of Legerra HLTs that might fit based on offsets, but they haven't measured them to ensure fit. I like that style, but hoping that someone has a recommendation that they know fits.

Here's an AL13 set of 20" all around rims:

These BBS E89s look insanely good in a 20" all around set up and the 345-30-20 rear tire will give you massive grip too:

My custom Augment Wheel Company forged GT3 5-lugs just came in! 21x11.5+57 and 20x8.5+43 Mounted them up briefly, and in absolute love with them. Exactly what I was hoping for. I could’ve went 5/10mm more on my front offset, since my camber is always at -2.5 for track. I have spacers I’ll throw on and try after I take my track setup back off next week.
I was scared because of the 5-lug, the center section would be too large taking away from the spokes, but they are actually longer than the GT3, which kicks *** IMO.

@Chalk992911S these look so good... a classic Porsche GT design, and the satin black ties in nicely with the chalk & black accents.

I hate the fake center lock look. Especially with the fake directions printed on the center lock. I mean I like the look with no lug bolts visible but I’d rather not have the fake center lock nut.

Thanks. I'm not very familiar with all the poosible wheel dealers. As mentioned the Tire Rack wouldn't guarantee fitment. And I like the style you have on your profile pic much more than the wheels you suggested.
