Wheel tilt/alignment

When I turn my wheels either to the far right or far left, when looking at it from the outside, looks like it's tilted down more than other cars, like it's going to fall down and collapse, is it normal?

I don't notice anything wrong when driving. When the wheels are turn straight, it looks normal.

MBs have more than most cars. Picture how the front wheel of a chopper motorcycle turns over on its side compared to a normal motorcycle. Same concept.
