I see that you've got the RTR side splitters installed. What's your ground clearance right in front of your rear tire?

I have the same springs, and stop the hop kit. My clearance is 5 3/8"

Front tires are 275/35R20
Back tires are 305/35R20

I'm on 305/35r19 on the rear

So weird that we've got the same ground clearance, same tire size and you've got that much gap. I've got nothing for you. I agree, I'd contact steeda and see what they say

My wheels are .2 inches larger in diameter too. So strange

Not the best pics, best I could do.

Really dumb question, is there a way they possibly have the springs reversed and the fronts are in back?
Can you try to take a picture from this view when possible. I want to compare mine

Did you get the correct springs for your car (magna-ride or non magna-ride springs?)

I'm in contact with steeda engineers now. But I believe so. The part number they sent me is correct for my car. I have never seen the magnaride springs. Not sure if they look different or if there is a possibility they sent me rear magnaride springs on accident

Unless I missed an obvious typo, you two fella's have an inch difference between your rear wheel sizes. 305/35/19 VS 305/35/20 is an inch difference in overall height and would make a 0.5" difference in the fender gap.

I'm an idiot, my tire is taller because of the 20. My half wit brain was thinking my sidewall would be a half inch shorter because of the rim size difference but still being a 305/35... Duh, 🤣. I need to grab a measurement of floor to bottom of wheel arch for him

Additionally - when measuring the clearance, this is how the measurements should be taken:

I'm in contact with Rodney Williams! He sent all my information to engineering. Hoping to hear back from you guys when it's safe down there in Florida. Hope you guys didn't get hit too bad with Helene.
