GTA rims on 4th gen rear end

Does anyone have several pictures from multiple angles showing GTA rims on a 4th gen rear end?

Currently, I'm using 4th gen wheels and 2" front spacers, but I'm really considering going back to 3rd gen wheels and I'm curious how much they will stick out in the rear.

I know how much distance wise, I mean how they will look.

As the 4th gen rear is 2.25" wider per side than a 3rd gen unit, your wheels will stick out 2.25" more, relative to OEM look.

I know the measurement, I wanted to see how it looked. I figured someone would have a bunch of photos.

I found a few searching, but they are all like close up shots showing the fender lip. Not like a good walk around.

Probably a lot like the people who are using the front rims on the rear.

In my opinion, it looks like absolute s#%t when the wheels stick out from the body like this:
