Looks about right in the front, to me. Back might come up a smidge, or run taller rubber back there

New look
Looks even better Ozgur!
Interesting how much a change of wheels can affect the look of a car.
The lower ride height in front helps a lot too.
Now get it out of the shop and take some better pictures

i also prefer 15" torque thrust, fia and halibrand
but, my torquethusts are 2nd hand because of our regulations to import wheels
that's the reason for me to bought those 17" wheels
good news is my old friend get permit to import special wheels, so i can put an order

front 235/60R15 diameter 663mm
rear 255/60R15 diameter 687mm
it would be better for me to continue play with tires

hardtop
I am too late to offer any suggestions but on you-tube there is a hard top movie some one built- looked okay at the end.

although the door style is not my cup of tea.
