Do you have pictures of this supposed 3" with iforged? Because your LE37s definetely did not have 3" of lip, maybe about 1" because LE37 design is face comes out so much even with a deep offset( I used to run 19x10.5 +15 so don't try to bs me here) and I could only see other photos of your car with NT03+M's cheapie wheels. I really would like to see it with a tape measure for reference.
Because, well , I will post up my calculations of your wheel :
ok so you have 84.3mm of wheel to play with, assuming the wheel is COMPLETELY flat which is impossible for your fronts due to brembo caliper,
that would be about 3.3" of lip.
However, from my experience fitting wheels usually you have to give at least about 1" of backspace clearing on the wheels rear hub, which allows for caliper clearance.
This would reduce you to : about 2.3" of lip all the way around.
But I really would like to see the setup.

I will show you a wheel we have in stock called the VOLK TE37 cup to show you why i dont compare lip sizes like that.. Because it is a 15x7 +40 with techincally through your standards about 2.7" of lip all the way around lol. and whatnoise dont be a homo, I invented stylish fitment in the NW area. I just don't like people to claim things that aren't.
And not trying to argue too much either, it is a big lip for 9.5 +30 on an evo.
with the lower disk model it WOULD have 4" of lip, but Mackin said it would not clear brembos.
