theres a bit of stretch and the rims stick out loads mre than i thought they would.and 215/35/18's sure are low..there like rubber bands.
this is how low it sitts at the moment

something doesn't look quite right with the rear wheel on those pics - it looks like the wheel is too far forward in the arch. does it drive ok? the other side one in an earlier pic looks the same - maybe there's nothing wrong and it's just because the car sits so high on the rear.
does look much better on the lower setting though
(i'd go a bit lower personally, so that the top of the tyre is level with the arch at least)

Yes, there is a reason.
Quattro models have a slightly shorter wheelbase than the comparable FWD models.

WELL THANKS FOR SCARING THE FREAKING BEJESUS OUTTA ME.
HA HA i never knew that either
will be going lower once the other wheels are on..as theres no point adjusting it now and then doing it again..(me lazy by the way)
one question i've got is..theres an arm that goes above the rear wheel/tyre and when i put the test wheel on there was hardly and room by the arm..does this arm move with the wheel or the car and will spacers help to clear this.

cheers dude..figured it out yesterday during my mot..
wheels fit perfectly but might need spacers to fill out the arch a bit..just lowering it now.

I just realised what size tyres your running and they are incorrect. You should be running 225 (optional) 40x18, 35 is too small and will make your speed odometer read incorrectly.
