tires too big?
so guys i need your opinion,i put advan wheels on and im running 225/50/16 in the front and 245/50/16 in the back the wheels are 7.5 inches in the front +32 and 8.5 rear+32. the tires looks to big. would a lower profile tire help me achieve a less bulgy look or would a skinnier tire?

Yes, tires are too tall.
245/45-16 is the proper height. I ran those in Toyo RA1 on 16x7.5 +30 front 16x8 +30 rear on my FC. The sidewalls are still bulgy, but it does look different.
Does my car look any better to you?
I just found they make 195/40-16 Federal Evos if you want to go low pro.

Lol ^ This is my car. I wouldn't recommend 195/40/16's, It's impossible to fill the wheel gap no matter how low you are. That, and they ride like garbage. This picture doesn't highlight it, but there is a good 4 inches of wheel gap with the car damn near scraping the subframe. I moved up to 205/50/16 all around. I like having a beefier tire after the 40's. I forget the offset, I can check later today. I am running a 5 mm spacer up front.
BTW VISH. SELL ME YOUR ADVANS!!!!

I'm running 225/45/16 and 245/45/16. Slightly lower profile than yours but still meaty. Not a whole lot of options in tires though, you're going to spend a lot because the only ones available are high performance.

S-drives look nice and perform well in dry weather. Unfortunately, they're not good in wet weather and they wear super fast. With normal driving, I went through 2 sets in maybe 10,000 miles. They're a very soft compound tire.
I switched to Hankook Ventus Contact v2's. So far I dig them. The tread pattern isn't the most aggressive, but they grip well in both wet and dry weather. They also come in a variety of sizes and my 20/50/16's were $70.00 per tire at Discount Tire. I've also put at least 5,000 miles on these with minimal tread wear.
