Default Nitro RS4 3 and wheel offset....where to start?

I'm wanting to put the biggest lip I can get on the car,with the widest tires,and still fit them under the body....without buying tons of wheels and parts before I get the right fit.

Is there anyone here who has already gone through this that may have some advice or pics?

Well you guys are no help,haha.

So,I'll do it myself and order a ton of parts.I started with a pair of LP 29mm width wheels and depending on what those do,I'll go from there.

I recommend starting with a +3mm offset.

I've seen some folks here with upwards of +9mm offset with the wheels and tires tucked inside the body, but their camber is at nearly 10 or 12 degrees. Play with the camber to see what you can get away with. I've seen drift tires with shaved edges to increase clearance by a few millimeters, too. Also, mount your body just a little higher than you normally would and soften your shock absorbers a bit to get the car to break loose easier.
