is this a bit too much ?
..of a gap between the fender and the tire ?
They are 255/35/19s with stock springs. I swear they were installed incorrectly. I'm told they aren't
Seems kind of high to me
Any opinions?
Thanks

Hi CGRX - My AT with sports package has 18" wheels and there is less than 2" gap between the fender and tire. I can only just get two fingers in (Keep your mind out of the gutter please !!)
The spring suspension is not visible at all.
Sorry to say it, but that gap on yours does not look very attractive.
Maybe it's sports pacakge that makes a difference - ??

You're car does look like it's a mile up in the air... but mine is so low now, I've forgotten what it looked like in stock form. Your 19" tire size is almost the exact same diameter as the stock 18" wheels so your tire will not cause any change in wheel gap over the stock size.
You might want to lower that thing a little with some different springs. Huge wheels on a sports car looks kind of funny unless you close that gap. You can find those kind of cars driving around El Paso, TX and San Diego, CA. I doubt your suspention is installed incorrectly.
