Tucked way in or sticking way out are going to look like **** either way. I don't see an issue with being tucked a tad in or sticking a tad out. Both would look good, but a lot of the pictures being posted seem to be extremes of each side. I'm surprised more people haven't said they prefer to just be flush and even with the fender. That would look best imo and there'd be no need for debate.

I must say alot is personal prefernce. mine stick out just a tad sadly but they do fit in the fenderwell still "Tucked" i guess lol
I personally like a wider tire.. even though id get mixed reviews about this, but i say wider the tire more rubber that you can lay down, and better hooking. sure someone will disagree with that but i still believe in surface area lol.
17x9.5 up front and 17x11 in the rear i cant say that i hang out but i will get pics when i was the car tomorrow

Chevelles have a HUGE lip in the wheelwell on the outside. It is literally an inch and a half or more. Once that is trimmed to stop the rubbing the back will come down a little. But honestly I don't like the way the tire looks crammed 4" up into the wheel opening either. I won't be dropping the rear more than another 1.5".
The "slammed" look is not my style at all and if you had to drive on some of the roads I do it wouldn't be yours either.

Rear doesn't need to be narrowed, those are cheap drag wheels from craigslist that have 4" backspacing. The car can take 5.5" backspacing before a 15" wheel hits the shock tower mount. A 17" or 18" wheel can have more without narrowing or tubbing.

A lot of jealousy in here.

325 tucked decent. He since lowered the rear and out on 275s.

Love that stance! Is it possible to have this setup plus another set of something like 19" CCW's to look pretty with? Would CCW's fit and look ok if lowered a bit with a narrowed rear? In other words, can you run a setup like the red car above and another set to look like The Alchemist or Chaman's cars?? Thanks
