Well, the tires had foam in them which I removed which made them squish a little more than they woulda. Other than that I can add some additional weight, but it might bend the suspension.

Maybe a softer foam? Or less foam? Or just a little bit of foam on the bottom section of the tire?

Well, there's no foam at the moment or in those pics. It's odd... the car is really heavy and the tires are really squishy, but I guess there's just not enough weight. What I could probably do is some layers of double-stick foam tape inside the rim to stick the tires into a more squished form. That'd probably work.

May be you could put weight on the rims inside the tires. It wouldn't bend the spings.
