Lip sits outside the bodywork = illegal fitment.

anyway to make it fit inside the bodywork?

You'll likely need new wheels to get proper fitment. These have too aggressive offset to be legal on your car (unless you're just fitting for shows).

You could take them to a good wheel/machine shop to see if you can get them machined to reduce the offset. Depending on how much material there is it may be possible.

Otherwise you'll have to find what car these suit and offload them.

Do what the 4wd boys do, fit spats, you can trim them so they fit correctly and your wheel should be legal.

Done all the time

Sh*t as if ET15 6.5 is poking! I really doubted this. Are the backs of the wheels 100% against the hubs? If so how many mm of poke do you have? Could get smaller lips which would take you back another few mm - but that's probably not worth it. Guard rolling? There's a few different routes.
