Default Photos please...Lt1 C4's with 17X11 rear wheels and 315x35x17 tires

Ok, I have read so much conflicting info on whether or not 17X11 50mm offset wheels with 315x35x17 tires stick out or don't stick out that I am thoroughly confused. I need to see proof one way or the other. I would like to see some down the line side shots of Lt1 C4's. Thanks!

There are alot of pictures on here if you do a search. Mine do stick out, a little more on one side than the other. 1/2 to 3/4 from the side wall to the top lip of the fender well. The tread of the tire is within the tire well. Send me your e-mail and I'll send you a couple pics. I don't have a photo bucket account.

They stick out a little, that's why the GS got the flares.

My GSD3's are about the same... maybe 1/8" more max. How do you like the Sumi's? They have to be cheap er than the GSD3's. Tire rack doesn't show them any more are they still available? Just put on all four, $1200...

Mine BARELy stick out, if any. BFG KD 315's
If you are mechanically inclined, you can do a little work and do what GM did for their show car "Big Doggie", and use 87 spindles and do a little machine work and bring the 50mm offset wheels in 13mm more. Or By flairs.

These are just what I was looking for. It looks like the type of tire can make a big difference also! Thanks!

An alignment makes a difference. If you want a little extra negative camber in the rear, it will tilt the wheel in too.
