Default How many fingers are your fender to tire edge gaps?

I've got barely one finger gap in the rear and almost 3 fingers gap up front... which makes me paranoid that I have one of those cars that the dealer forgot to remove the suspension block or two. Someone mentioned here that there are two on each corner and that there have been some instances where a few were left on inadvertently.

someone should post a pic of the blocks on the car, so we know what to look for.

Default Rear lower in that aspect to the front...

ride would be crazy bad with those still in there. Your gap sounds right to me, but even a touch low in back. -Pete
