Do my fat tires look silly? Redditor's own ride

I recently bought rpf1’s that are 15’s to fit the tires that came with the car, but now i think it looks a little funny with all the space between the tire and wheelwell. I really cant afford coils/springs at the moment so I just have to roll with it.

Am I just being insecure or does it ACTUALLY look weird?

no the, the after market wheels and wing look silly. the tires and fitment look fine on a daily. if you intend on coverting to to be unusable in the snow-lowering kit is the way to go. if you intend on using it, winter tires and road clearance are your friend

in a list of things the descriptors dont necessarily apply to every entry.
but whoever told you that was full of shit, at best its a dealer add on. the promo shots of the car used a similar spoiler but in production it was smaller and flatter. i also cant think of anytime a spoiler has been offered from manufacturer in two tone.

the spoiler is from a cobalt ss, which is the EXACT same car as the g5 with minor cosmetic differences, the g5 gt could come with this spoiler, and i painted it myself. mine did come with the low rise spoiler but i preferred the cobalt ss one.

it could, if the manufacturer wanted either of those cars to get that spoiler, but neither did during production. its an aftermarket add on. you literally just admitted to that.
