please prove me wrong
I think what you are seeing is a result of the car not being lowered as much as some...there are some fender shots if you follow the link below for my car:

IMO, they tuck better than any 18x11 in the back I've seen. So much so that I actually run a 1/4" spacer and ground down my bump stops a little to make sure the inside wheel lip didn't contact it during hard cornering.

That could be. All the pics I see look like this car for example

Not only do the wheels look like they stick out too far but the tires looked stretched on the rims. Maybe its just that brand of tire but they all seem to have them. I'm not so concerned with the fronts but the rears look too far out to me especially if the tires were to have squared off side walls unlike the BFG's shown in the link above
