If they stick out at all it is too much.

eh..actually truthfully Ive grown to like it if they stick out about and inch, since my curent ones do, but I want wider rims.Im thinking of my bug with a nice lowered stance with and agressive look with some tire sticking out, same amount front and rear, but not hammered out like you seen imports in the 90's where they stuck out 6" no way 
i wish i could photoshop my bug the way im thinking of it in my mind but my photoshop skills suck

are you on the east coast?
Sticky out is not kewl when mud slings up. Get some wider fenders or narrow the beam and axles to get them to fit.

Muds not and issue here where Im at, so thats not and issue.I cant afford narrowed axles ( idonno if they make them for IRS anyways) and a adjustable beam will be used, narrowed not really sure.
Yes Im from the east coast which should'nt matter.
Sticking out and inch wasnt cool to me at first but when you see it everyday it grows on you..
Edit: ok I see your point...
On my rims that are Ansens with western caps (donno why, stupid PO) if I was to go 145/65 up front and 165/80 in the rear would it sit kind of weird?Also do they make a 165/70 maybe?
