The 1st pic is how the car looks normally, the 2nd two are with the Drag Radials w/ 10mm spacers.

I don't see a difference. I am looking for how far the wheels stick out of the wheel well. Is this wrong. I figured with thicker wheels and tires they'd stick out further. Although that is subjective with backspacing being different from wheel to wheel.
