Obsessed with Wheel Wells

Ho do i make my G's well hug the tire more, i'm talking more to the sides not the top. I really don't like the way the sides flare out away from the tires.

Drops don't do anything for the spaces on the sides. What size wheels/tires do you have?

Roll your fenders, go low, get wide wheels, and run camber!

aside from some custom body work, there's nothing you can do about the shape of the wells as they approach the ground...they are the way they are.

If you focus on getting wheels with a different offset you may prefer the results. This will give you a chance to make the wheels more flush with the body. You can also play around with wheel diameter and suspension drop to minimize the gap in the wheel well. The gs aren't too far off so I bet you could find the right combination for you. If you don't know where to you start you can always look through the gallery for a look you like and then basing your setup off that.

If you mean the space in front and that back of the tires than you would have to run bigger tires in order to fill those gaps, but if you do run bigger tire YOU WILL RUB. So in your case you can't fill them up..
