Knees in Squats

[TheLostProphet]

Hey guys, quick question: when squatting, should your knees go out sideways so they're slightly further than your feet, or should you widen your stance so that your knees go in the direction parallel to your feet?

So far I've been using a 30 degree stance and having my knees go sideways out, but on the heavier weights I have some clicking on the way down. I'm beginning to think I've misread the materials....

Knees track with the feet.

Track in-line with toes. The clicking I've found out to typically be not having the hips back and the knees traveling forward at the bottom.

Just wanted to give an update to this thread, thanks very much for your help guys. I've been able to squat lower and concentrate more on my bounce now that I don't have to keep forcing the knees out. I even got a compliment from some beast who was squatting 180kg. "You have great form, have you been doing this for a long time?" Haha!
