Default Question for V90 owners with 20” wheels

My inscription came with the 20” wheels, I just noticed that the gap between the front and rear wheel arches seems to be different.

Front arch has more space between the tyre and arch than the rear which appears to be about half that amount.
Is this normal? This is my first v90, so not sure if this is normal. I just noticed it and once seen can not be unseen and started worrying.
I thought I would ask for advice for I go to the dealer.

Thank you in advance.

Hi,

Thank you Paul, I think I noticed as my house is up a slope, and reversing down my drive the rear sensor goes red and bleeps when joining the road. So just made me wonder if there was something wrong with suspension.

My RR and VW don’t have the issue.

Do you have the rear air suspension? It settles after a while once engine is turned off.

I'm on 20" wheels but I think in general the V90 sits low on it's back end
