Yes, the wheel arches are cut diff. 1/2" higher in front,, you must have one heck of a pyramid garage approach!! you might have to lay down some plywood or something to help get in and out,, what size are those tires and wheels,,, they look like 40 aspect ratio's ( very low Profile) also, lets try and take some pics in the day, and on the level street, or somewhere else other than steep driveway... 
Tires are 245/40 and wheels are 19's, very good eye
Here are some shots of the driveway:
This is no problem going over:
The entire driveway:

So the new pictures look normal with more wheel gap in the front than in the rear? Any chance the installer mixed up the springs and put the fronts in the rear and the rears in the front? He seemed to know which went in the front as soon as he opened the box but I do not know any better.
Thanks for your help

Secondly, no... it's impossible for the guy to confuse the springs and install the fronts into the rears. The guys would have to be a complete drooling moron and even then, I'm not even sure it's possible.
Relax. It looks great and should look even better after a few weeks of driving it around.

First of all, give it a week or two for the springs to settle. Until that happens, you don't know what the final look will be.

If I can get into my driveway I will be even happier.I think I will start a new thread for input on how to get into my garage as this thread is getting long.

Man, that must be one steep driveway!!! and then it must level out staight into the garage,, hence what i called the "pyramid" effect, i dunno,, for starters, i would lay some plywood, or something down to lesson the scraping point, ( or highest) point the car has to clear,, 
before, and after the highest point,, BUT!! you car looks good!! that is the approx. same look i got on mine last week,, and yes they will settle in the next few weeks,, Also on Alan's car,, IMO, his car is aiming down, meaning his front wheel gap is almost the same as the rear!! it shouldn't be. I would really like to know how he did that!!?? because when you look >behind the front wheel, and in front of the rear wheel< that distance should be the same,, like your car Alto.....
