From top edge of hub to lower edge of wheel arch ?

Just noticed you said road, in that case tyre pressure will affect the hight and tyre size :wink:

So not a true reflection of the suspension :butt: :lol: :lol: :lol:

For a more accurate ( though still rough ) estimate go from top of hub to lower edge of wheel arch.

The gap on the rear of my car is 20" and the front is 18" Ive just took half an inch off the front due to noticing a bit of excessive tyre wear on the outside edge, bonus is I get a bit of suspension droop back though.
