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.

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!
