I hate to be the one to break the bad news, but I think you got the wrong offset. Them seem to be sticking out past the fenders a bit.

In that view it looks like the olds school "roach" cars with 13" daytons that stuck completely outside of the fenders.

Seriously, I like them, they match your skid mark quite well.
