might wanna get a camber kit for the rear just to keep your tires from wearing pre maturely. other then that car will sit and look good with that set up. Nice choice.

What rims are you running?

most likely a 7.5 for the rubber and rim to be flush.
an 8 will make it look like the stock rim with the 215 like how it has that lip next to the rim.

Design of the tire (and not just size of wheel or tire) also factor into that. Last month, I replaced my stock A/S Michelins with Toyo Proxes 4s, in the exact same size. I love the tires, and really love how there is no more lip of rubber near the out rim of the wheel. Looks soooooo much better.
