I agree with everything you're saying. I just thought the car would be more aesthetically pleasing if the rear wheels were centered in the wheel well. While everything you said is true, this model will most likely be in the slammed down in the rear position permanently where a real car (with hydraulics) would be up and down all of the time. In the real car world, you're right, it wouldn't make sense to make that compensation. But I was just thinking, with this being a model, that it might look a little better sitting on the shelf that way.
