Is it too low in the back?

[krisk]

I’m looking for opinions on the looks of my current setup. I’m having no trouble with it functionally, so it is just a matter of the way it looks.

I initially installed the Steeda Sport Progressive lowering springs with the stock PP1 wheel and tire setup. I liked the look overall, but thought the rear gap was close to looking too small. I then went to a new tire and wheel setup 20x11 with 305/35 and 20x10 with 285/30. I knew this was going to make the rear gap even smaller, but it was the setup that worked for my goals. As I said above, I’ve had no functional issues with the setup. No poke, no rubbing, and pretty close to stock comfort wise. However, I have mixed feelings on the tire gap on the rear wheels. I’ve thought about adding a spacer to raise it 1/2”, but also don’t want to get too extreme with the rake since it’s been increased by both the springs and the new tire setup.

So right now I’m just looking for people’s opinions on how it looks. Do you think it would look better raising the rear, considering it will increase the rake? Thanks for your feedback!

To me it looks perfect if your streets allow you to enjoy it. I can't do the same as the streets in PR are not good.

Here is his brother with OEM springs and with 275/35 and 305/35 on 20's.

Thanks. That is one good thing about Georgia; the roads are pretty good around here. I don’t have a problem driving with this setup.

You have a good looking setup as well!

The fender gap on the rear is lesser than the front, but it looks good as it sits overall.

Lower in back.

Lower in back.

You think the back needs to be even lower?

I guess I'm the odd one out here but I would bring it up 1/2" in the back. I dont think it looks terrible now but I'm not a fan when the wheel gap is tighter in the rear.

Agree with this.

Yes its to low in the back, go to a 285 tire.

Agree with this.

I’m leaning towards raising the back 1/2” at this point. My main concern is it going to then have too much rake?

I’ve actually been surprised at the number of people who like the current look. I really thought it would be an overwhelming consensus that the back should be raised.

By any chance do you happen to have MagneRide suspension on your ride? I agree with the back is a tad to low, bring back up 1/2"

I considered a 285 square setup, but like the staggered look better. Fortunately everyone doesn’t like the exact same thing; otherwise, we’d all be running the exact same setup. Thanks for the feedback.

No magneride. I have considered the Bilstein B6, which many speak highly of for comfort and performance. I’ve heard people say it raises the car about 1/8” as well.
