F-Sport Full Faced Wheels with Sport Suspension?
So I put my wheels on yesterday and noticed something I think is weird. In the rear there is now only 2 finger gap (more like 1 3/4 finger gap) but the front it is like a 3 1/2" finger gap.
Now, with the stock rims (18's) the front looked lower. I know the sport suspension from the factory has .4" lower front than rear, so why would putting on these wheels make the rear lower than front?
Maybe I am missing something, could someone help me out. I am thinking maybe the rear shocks are losing there hold maybe, they have 50k miles on them??
Thanks
pics coming soon

Just from the pictures I can tell the new wheels you are using have a smaller sidewall. Need to know the specs on the wheels and tires for the stockers and new wheels. It has to do with your wheel/tire size and thats all there is.

ok checked the tire heights from your oem to new wheels and there about the same. The smaller sidewall of the new wheels make the wheel well opening look bigger. Its common when most people go up in wheel size and do not lower there car the wheel gap is always bigger. Get some springs.
Your shocks i'm sure are fine and are not affecting your ride height.
