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?

when talking about tastes just do whatever you want with your car man

my car has 13's but the fat tires help with ride comfort (at least i heard that), so even though bigger rims would make it less silly, i still prefer the thicc tires

also the black rims kinda hide the tires so its hard to call it silly unless youre really focusing on it

the very old ones? im talking pre 2000's, mine's a Lancer 6, i've seen similar cars called Mirage in the US with a slightly different rear so i assumed its the same car but different name

Yea the more modern Lancers exist there from what i know

But yea my super old car came with 13's from momo, 60℅ rim 40% tire is what i'd describe the look of the wheels
