Thats called "fender flares" They are not tucked under the body the fenders are flared.
Although I am not feeling good about the production model, the wheels being how they are would be the least of my complaints. Little details have changed that make the car lose something. Its not "tough" looking. Its been softened.

I think the wheels filling out the flares would make that head on shot like a lot better. Right now it looks like somoene tacked on a 'body kit' and ran out of money to buy rimzzz.
I'd agree the car has other problems then just that though.
Again i find myself saying thank you, someone gets it without saying something off the wall and contrary just for the sake of arguing.

No **** the bodywork they are tucked in 4" from are called fender flares. Last time i checked flared fenders count as bodywork.

Maybe, but buying aftermarket wheels with custom offsets because GM was too lazy to make the factory offerings fit 'right' is not high on the list of ways i want to spend my money on a $30k+ car.

On track vehicles they are intended to smooth the airflow that passes under the chassis and reduce turbulence at the back of the car. Some have underbody molds to 'suck' the car to the ground at speed. Watch the next Lemans race - the styling is right off the track.
I guess if your definition of rice is 'all-show' then you may be right - these fins probably won't do much of anything for the Camaro's aerodynamics. Its obviously a car that was intended to catch the eye, not slice through with a low drag coeff, not that there's anything wrong with that.
