Default Question about real wheels.

I have been wanting to upgrade my wheels where I could have 10.5 or 11's out back. The only drawback is that I see a lot of cars with their rear wheels sticking an inch or so. I hate that! Is there any way to fix that?

Thanks.

Most 11 or 10.5 wheels will tuck no problems.

^ What he said. If you get them from someone like OEWheels, they make the wheels to the correct offset so with 10.5 to 11's, all you gotta do is put em on, see what is needed to where they fit weather it be BFH/Fender lip roll or a combination of both but a lot of it depends on the car, weather your lowered, how much your lowered, and what the wheel size is.
