Deep lip 22's

Hello, I was needing help with rim specs. What's the deepest lip you can have in a 22 inch rim without narrowing the rearend? I'm sure it would be a 22 x 10 or 22x11 but what would be the specs....like back spacing and or offset? This would be for the rear. The truck is a 86 bagged but doesn't lay from cause I didn't want to cut the bed up. Thanks ahead of time for any help!

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Thanks for the response. With the 5" backspacing how much lip would that give me you think?

10" wheel w/5" bs = 5" lip. 4" bs would be deeper but will be very close to the lip of the wheel-well opening.
