....you kinda have to specify a make and model of a rim because there's tons of wheels out there with varying lip sizes....

There's no set formula for finding how wide a lip is going to be. Some wheels have more of a curved spoke design, giving them a larger lip.

RH Evos have that fitment/offset; they get about 1" lip all the way around.

Lip is subjective to wheels and disk fitment. Low/Regular/High disk for custom wheels are played with plenty when trying to achieve the most lip. Unless you have specifics on the wheel you're looking to purchase, no one can help you.
