Everyone always wants to see how much the 12" wide wheels stick out They usually stick out ~1/4 to 1/2 of an inch on average

The edge of the tread may line up with the fender but how far does the sidewall and rim stick out? I have a Nitto 325/30/19 on a 11" rim and its right at the edge of the fender. The sidewalls are square if not a couple of degrees in. I know on a 12" rim, the Nittos bow out. Car looks great by the way!

Hopefully some of the photos help. They do stick out, but it has a great stance. I'm pleased.

for whatever reason I cannot tell what wheels those are? Repros? How close is the inside of the sidewall to the fender lining do you think? I am thinking about the same type of setup
