Vmaxx coilover question

Hi everyone .
I recently install vmaxx coilovers for a " slammned" look but when I put the lowest setting they don't look that dropped or even slammed . Idk if I did anything wrong but when it was advertiSe the front was supposed to Be^ lower than the back. So knowing this I put everything on the lowest setting and the front I measure was about 2 finger width I'm the wheel gap and the back is even lower it was so low that it went into week arch and all my finger can touch is the tire. Has anyone install these coilovers and have this problem? Oh yea btw I have 16 inch wheels stock from the dealer .

What size tire do you have? That's a big factor of "gap" especially with a 16" wheel.

If you're 100% positive you've set the spring perches to the very bottom of the threads and you still have noticeable gap I would first suspect you have a thin sidewalled 16" tire or that you really messed something up with the mounting on the struts causing extra height. I have seen pictures of R56's SLAMMED on Vmaxx coilovers with 16" wheels with like one finger of gap. That is crazy low , so low in fact the front air dam had to be removed because it dragged across the ground.
