i think it looks the way you do party due to your offset choice, and tire choice. some tires have better sidewalls, that make it look more flush. IE: the stock 050's have a very nice sidewall IMO its not blocky like what you put on yours. what tires are those anyways?

... someone suggested getting a bit more negative camber so the wheel is a bit more tucked in the rear...

any other suggestions??

Looked similar to how mine looked in the rear after I mounted them. I'm running a bit higher offset but a .5" wider rim in the rear. I bought my wheels with 255 tires already on the rears so I am riding out the tread until I need to buy new tires.

245 is a much more suitable tire size on a 9" wheel IMO let alone a 9.5" rim.
