If that is your ride.............Don't touch a thing!!!! Take the keys out of your pocket, and slowly place them in mkorsu's palm!! Turn around and pretend you don't hear me sliding sideways around the block!!

you dont need to go bigger.. just keep it like that and you'll be straight.

I can't see clearly enough from the photo to say for sure, but looks to me like the tires (especially the rears) are too narrow for the wheels -- looks a little bit like a low rider style with narrow tires on too-wide wheels. Also looks like the fenders will get into the tires on the rear. Overall, I'd just make sure that there is enough offset on those wheels -- the photo makes it look to me like they don't have enough offset to clear the fenders with proper size tires. But again, it may be camera trickery.
