Front Wheel Gap is bigger than that of the rear

I noticed that the front wheel gap is bigger than that of the rear

Still stock suspension, but on 18" wheels it more evident.

Is it only mine or all CLS stock are like that?

time to grab the ruler...

It's that way, that's why the comptech srpings drop it so much more up front. Ugh it makes the front wheel look bigger too!

Same deal on my M3. Nasty front wheel gap and the rear just looks perfect.

On the Accord the fender wells are not cut the same so the front wheel gap is bigger than the rear... I also have close to 100lbs of stereo stuff in the trunk which doesn't help either.

it's normal about a third of an inch...thats how come the rake of the comp springs are so apperant to me...you start off 1/3 more gap in front and end up with 1/3 less gap in front than the rear
