Put some tires on it and it will look great. bump up to like a 245/40 up front and a 255/40 rear. You will still have some stretch , and fill out the wheel well a lot better.

Invest in spacers. Car looks great for what you spent. Talk to MrWong@Statik here about spacers he has the best prices.

In a way but heres what im shooting for, coilovers to get rid of the gap, spacers in rear with a fender roll. I might stick to this tire to tuck them in.
