Tires are too narrow to pull off a wide-body look.

I have tires wider than that under my stock fender openings.

I'd say those are minimum 315s in the back, if not 335s. But when you can fit that size tire with a mini tub under Chevelle, moving the wheels outward 4-5 inches just makes it look weird.

But then again beauty is in the eye of the beholder right? I'd have to be blind......but hey

315s fit a 68-72 rear without even a mini-tub. I had 315s on my '69 with just trimmed lips, and the 70-72 bodies have even more room than 68-69. The fronts look 275-285 ish, which you can also fit under stock fenders while running stock inner fenders and a low stance.

I'll be running 295/35/18 Yokohama A052 (11" tread width, 11.8" section width) on 10.5" square this year.
BFG Rival S 315s fit the rear without rubbing but it was really tight. Yoks run wide and have a soft sidewall, so I can't quite fit a 315 rear with them. They're almost 1/2" wider than the same size BFG.
