I gotta side with people, the tires are HUGE.

IMO if you want to keep the car functional, you have a few choices.

1. Narrower tire, not skinny, but realistically a 255 radial all around is a bit silly for a street car, you'll be hard-pressed to get those tires hot enough to really work at 100% potential on the street anyway, and if you try to meet that mark, you'll be going extremely and unsafely fast.
2. Hack away at your fenders, either roll and HARD pull/flare, or cut them and slap on overfenders or aftermarket flares. With how that fits, it looks like any decent ammount of suspension compression will demolish your fenders (might happen when you're going dangerously fast trying to heat up the tires lol)
3. Camber...all jokes aside, some camber is beneficial, just a few degrees will make a big difference in handling, appearance, and practicality.
-or-
Combination of any/all of the above.

If they were ~5mm more sunken in, it would have been MUCH better. It just doesn't look right, and I can't imagine that you can do any kind of agressive driving with such a beefy fitment. Not trying to be rude or mean or make your car "hellaflush" but that's just not right.
