Wheel gap increased after switching from 20" Turbo Aero to 21" Taycan Exclusive

[iten]

I have a 2020 4S+, meaning I have PASM as standard but without smartlift function.

Over the weekend, I have upgraded from my original 20" Turbo Aero wheels to a brand new set of 21" Taycan Exclusive. The wheel gap became noticeably bigger, about 3+ fingers wide. I activated jack mode before the wheel change, and it was turned off after the wheel change. I have also set my TPMS to 21" summer tires. Anyone has experience this, or is this the normal height? I have attached some photos, but not sure if it is helpful as reference. The pictures were taken in normal mode without and the ride height was definitely not raised. Thank you.

If you enter the 20" and 21" tires spec. here:

You will know why, because the 20" tires are bigger vs 21"

Reason I drive permanently with ride height in Low chassis setting!

Yes, I am well aware of that. It's only 0.2" and 0.4" difference in radius, front and back respectively. The wheel gap difference after changing to 21 just looks so much better. If you think that looks normal than I would feel better.

Isn't the CT a higher ride by default?

I just meant I prefer the minimal gap possible and the difference between Normal and Low chassis heights is significant to my eye (regardless of act vs Sedan. (I had CETE installed but had to remove but another story in another thread!).

What chassis setting are you in? That looks like the Normal setting.
