Default How Low
Recently put widebody fenders on. Now the car looks like it’s sitting up high to me. Those of you who have lowered the car, how much space (height ) have you kept from top of tire and fender?

An inch is pretty good IMO. Also depends on ground clearance, dictated by overall tire height. Post some pics

Post some photos of the car so we can see what you're seeing. What size rear tire is on it, now?

Two fingers (or a little less) thickness from the top of tire to the fender arch.
