Because it looks wicked from behind. Lowering the car kinda diminishes the wide as a hippo tires. From those pictures it looks alright.
Also, probably with those tires, the wheels are also taller than normal, making the car to have a higher ground clearance.

Front Tires
225/40ZR18
Rear Tires
295/30ZR18

Original sizes as far as I have found. Looks like 1" taller in the back, or so...

It's a Porsche, not a hot-rod. The fact that you can hardly even see the rear rim in half those pics lets you know it's putting some serious tire down.

Many Wicked vehicles didn't have clean titles... So if the car has an interesting past it could explain some of the misalignment. Otherwise it could just be poor bodywork.

not all.. you can actually send them your car and they will do the body work.. the ones they sell already set up are mostly salvage though.

I like the car, it should be lowered or have smaller tires so you can tuck them into the fenders a little bit. the car being so high kinda defeats the purpose of a widebody.

Oh God my eyes ... that paint is fuxored sideways!!! I don't mind the stance, and like the wide ... but that paint job just begs you to push the car off the pier and into the water for ever. Seriously, wtf.
