Is it too low in the back?

I love the last pic - 1/2” raise at the rear. That’s the look I have on my car but mine is very slightly higher all round due to bad roads here. What wheels are you running? The look perfect. Adding spacers really isn’t needed with those wheels!

I've got the Project 6GR Tens 20x11, 20x10 with 305/35 and 285/30 Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4. I would have preferred a 275/35 in the front which would bring the front up slightly, but those tires are not available in that size. I'm still debating on raising the back. I think I may get the spacers for a 1/8 and 1/4 rise and try them both out to see which I like better.

Hey OP, I'm grateful to you for bringing this topic up, as well as the other posted comments. I have been thinking my 18 convertible just does not look right, from a stance perspective, ever since I installed progressive 1 inch drop lowering springs. The picture someone posted with the car jacked up to various levels sealed the deal for me. I just received my 1/4 inch Steeda spacers (1/2 inch total lift) for the rear and now really can't wait to get them installed. It may seem silly to some, but I think proper stance is critical to a good looking (and performing) car.

I'm not a fan when the wheel gap is tighter in the rear.
Me neither. And even less when it's that low, which makes it obvious. I won't touch my car, but it's also lower at the rear than the front at the factory, which is stupid. Most other cars are the opposite, if at all. Either level, or a bit of rake at the front. That's also why I don't want to keep adding weight at the rear, including a heavy spare (plus there's no space where to put a rear stock tire with luggage). I'm just adding the Steeda jacking rails and rear sub-frame braces and that's it. Also the 2-poing G-brace in the front, but it won't nearly offset the weight of the rails and braces. Oh well. At least I'm only 165# (and the wife 130), so that's good :D.

Would you mind taking measurements before and after installation to see if the difference is actually 1/2”. I am buying some 1/4” spacers as well.
Thanks

I will share photos and measurements when we install the spacers for sure.

I’ve settled on doing the 1/4” spacer (1/2” rise) in the rear, and I’m going to try out a 1/8” spacer in the front. That should give it about equal spacing in the front and rear or just slightly higher in the rear. I can play with the front to get it just where I want it, but I think 1/2” will be good in the back. Waiting on the front spacers to be manufactured, so it will probably be a couple weeks before I get everything installed. I’ll take measurements and post photos when I’m done.
