if you want a dish/lip.... get the rear 9.0 at around 70 or higher offset, in the front mid to high 50's should be ok....

That offset will not give you a lip. It will give you a lot of clearance for big tires. I would suggest to find out what they have available for the car and go from there. The higher offset the better for clearance.
