Mine has been this way as long as I've owned it. 4-lug Mahle wheels (including the spare).

Mine is the same, just the way they are.

Yep, me too. My trunk floor is perfect. I mounted a 195 tire on my Fuchs 4-spoke spare and it was really horrible. Swapped that for a 165 and the cover board still rides high - acceptable, but annoying. Might have to try a 155 and see how that works.

It does look like a floor jack was used under the middle of the floor.
It probably doesn't cause your problem but can easily be fixed. Stand in the center of the floor with feet together. You'll probably feel it drop a bit. |
