Wheel well arch

Why does Nissan/Infiniti cars have such uneven arches between front and rear.    On the Y33 I noticed the front fender is alot higher then the rear quarter panel.   When you drop it evenly the rear starts tucking way before the fronts because of this.  My F50 is the same way.   Some people seem to like the look of "tucked".   I know people have solved this problem by radiusing the quarter panel but thats just alot of work.

its not only nissan/infiniti alot of cars are like that

lol. yeah, a good majority of cars are like that.

its so the car appears lower than it is in most cases. among other reasons

Drop it with a rake. Gives it an aggressive stance.

2nd gen GS have a really obvious height difference.

I don't like it, but it's not that uncommon at all.

Anyways, I don't think there's any particular logic to it, except maybe they're trying to minimize wheel gap but can't afford to go that low in the front because of the mushy suspension.

so nobody knows....ok

sorry were not all automobile engineers...

Well, what did you expect to hear?

You'd have to ask an automotive designer for Toyota or Nissan or w/e to get "the" answer.

i would guess it has to do with turning clearance, which isn't an issue in the rear.

its for turning while compressed.  if most cars had low arches ion the front, in a high speed compressed turn it may rub

I was hoping someone had some idea or reason.   I wasn't looking for a long 12 hour answer.

And this is why I can no longer make high speed turns. :(
