Hi!

First of all:
Again, great detail an very clever usage of parts! ("Sideway-slopes" at
fenders, the rugged door-hinges ...)

For the wheels:
I think it's not so much the wheels that do not fit, but the roof of the car
looks a bit too high and also pretty "heavy". Maybe taking out a row of
plates or using columns that look lighter (though I don't know what you
could use)would help.
And as you said yourself in one of the replies, a stud shorter would be fine.

Other than that, looks great.
