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?

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
