Opinion: Do my tires look undersized for my lifts + flair

I need some opinions.. I think that going from 2.5 inch lift wth a 1 inch body lift, to a 4 inch suspension lift would make my tires look a bit less awkward with the flares I have..

I think the lift will make it look at lot better, it doesnt look bad now but with the lift it will be 10% better.

It doesn't look horrible but bigger tires would make a huge difference.

i think the flares are way to wide.. lift will make no difference as far as sticking out, and thats what makes them look small.. its those wings you have for flares..

Thanks for all the opinions, I think I might trim them down some, but i'm still going to put the 4 inch lift, I'm just curious if I should keep the 1 inch body lift.

as for bigger tires, one day yes.. but 35's each through gas as it is and I commute about 40 miles a day round trip
