Is your car lowered? That would help in filling the gap. You could go with a 215/40/18 tire to make it a little bit taller and better ride...

Love the attention getting subject line. My first thought was to introduce you to my ex "B..." She was good at widening her rear end

Well then you problem is your wheels. Being a 18x7 and most likely some generic offset, your wheels are sunken into the wheel wells. You can fix that by putting spacers or buy better fitting wheels.

Donuts... more donuts! :D j/k

I think there is another shim maker out there that is 20mm instead of the 10 mm OTG shims. Other than that, you'll need to get wider & lower offset wheels.
