^depends, if you are ok with faster tire wear. as long as you get a decent alignment, you should be ok but it all really depends on what point you are happy.... since you arent happy about it sticking out and looking clunky....

remember, at this point, you also would have to lower it more as well

what suspension are you on? it maybe easier if you probably sold them and got another set, so that you can have peace of mind...

so even if you went more negative camber, the car will still look strange cause you are only on springs...

you are going to have to do one of the following:

1. leave it and let it be
2. lower the car more (coilovers) and run more negative camber
3. change rims
4. get wider fenders

sorry to have to break it to you since it seems like you just got the wheels but im telling you now, its going to be a lot of work/heartache if you dont do what i suggested.

I say run 245s. It should get rid of that "chunkiness" a little at least.
