Default Issues when backhaving a C-3

Went out today and took some preliminary measurements on the rear end of my car and came to a few conclusions. It is going to be very difficult to get a 32-33 in. tire under this car and still have it look decent. I do not want to have to jack up the rear, I would like to have more of a pro stock type of stance, but do not think it will be doable. They way the rear fenders curve in eats up a lot of tire space when a tall tire is going to be used. You must also take into consideration you have to be able to get the tires on and off. It seems to get everything to fit the way I want I will have to put the tire so far into the wheel wells that it will look goofy. I would apprecitate some ideas or pics of back havled C-3
Thanks,
John
