Really like the wheels colour-matching.
Put it at a sensible ride height and it will be spot on...and driveable!

Speedlines looked great as well to be fair...

175s?!?!?!?
Holy crap, must drive like an old skoda
That makes a huge difference...
55s on 195 tyre compared to a 175 tyre is like 11cm or 5.5cm wall height difference...those C5 steelies will be square before yoy know it!

Why don't you just raise it to a sensible ride height that doesn't cause all these problems and ruin the handling?

How low is it now? Looks 90-100mm drop?
What are you planning on raising it to?

Honestly I don't know there's about two fingers worth between the bar and bump stop :-( and I want it so the top of the tyre is just flush with the arch if that makes sense

Yeah, slam it if you want, but if you have to run stupidly skinny, low profile tyres, and masses of tuck then it's a waste of time because that ruins the look.
Space them out, raise it up a little at the back to get rid of the crazy reverse rake and put the right tyres on it and it'll look epic with the steelies.
