I use a super-old paint shop pro (PSP) program :
1 - I have a black/white version of the template.
2 - I go to tirerack to find good side views of cars by capturing the "View [wheel] on vehicle" picture. This won't work on a lot of pre 1990's cars.
3 - I re-size the template to match the height of the car image.
4 - I use the "Paste as transparent selection" option in PSP to overlay the template onto the car.
You need to have a paint program that does transparent pastes. That's the key. I also prefer the tirerack images because they are very clean, aka no background, and have no perspective distortion.
Hope that makes sense,
