The tyres are too big for a start. They need to be be 195 45 15. You need to have a suitable offset too. You will more than likely need to trim the arches too.

Not worth it when they spoil the handling imo.

and

Turn your caps lock off !

Remember, the drivers side has more weight on it - i.e. drive, steering column, dashboard odds and sods etc so you will need to sort the whole setup out properly - probably by doing just what Hardhitter says!
