I think that it needs to be dropped. The rims look good though.

it was rubbing a little on the front, so would dropping it make it rub even more?

What are those sticker-looking things in front of your front-left wheel? Two rectangles kind of under the fog-lights.

Also, do you have any better pictures? I can't even tell what they are from the pictures you have. They look pretty cool, though. What size are the wheels and tires?

Ah, my eyes were just focused on those things and I didn't even notice the rest of the car had the kit on it.

That really sucks dude. There are some screwy people in the world, sorry they had to screw with you.

They look really small for 18's even though. What's the width on them? Also, what size are the tires? Maybe it's the sidewall that makes the wheels look smaller.
