I put steeda progressive springs in my car 4 months ago the front looks great but the rear just isn’t as low as other peoples that have the same wheel and tire set up. I’ve been on 2 sets of springs and had the same issue on both. Bushings have been reclocked too. If anyone knows anything about this please share some info this gap is killing me and my ocd.
-front wheels are 19x8.5(255/40/19)
-rear wheels are 19x10(285/35/19)

Have you considered going with a 295/35 tire in the rear?

I'm betting this is more likely the offset of the rear wheel.

????
Can you explain ??
Sure. You only posted a side view picture, so from this perspective it is entirely possible that the rear wheel is not flush with the body and could be brought out more.

you have the same size tire on all 4 corners, the front looks like the sidewall is taller. It may be the lighting also.

It would look fine if it were 275/40 tires, the extra sidewall will fill that up. My car looked similar after lowering with FP Track kit and stock 255/40r19 with stock 8.5" wheels. It looks vastly improved with 275/40s and wheels that stick out further.
