A drop will help the look and will also push the tops of the rear wheels inwards. I'd also consider 255 width rear tires. It will help a lot.

It's interesting how significantly stretched tires appear visually shorter, even though that's not physically possible, and make the wheel gaps appear larger. The depicted is a big reason why I went with 18X8 et43 wheels and not the more common 8.5" ~et45 front and ~9.5" et45 rears. For one, I think 9.5 in the back is overkill on these cars and two, I can run a 245/35R18 square setup if I want because of the ~10mm clearance I have with the front shock assembly. The setup I'm running is very flush with the fender lines and the visually meatier tires make the car look lower.
