Easy question. Not a pissing contest. Requires only a tape measurer and your car.

Im curious how many inches everyone is off the ground to the center of there wheel arches on flat level ground. Just trying to get a gauge on where my suspension is compared to stock and lifted rigs. My car is 32" high in the rear. and 31 1/4" in the front.

Im thinking of going with a lift and some wheel spacers

Go Measure!

44 1/2 up front, 44 in the rear with a sub and a ton of other crap. Sitting unloaded the rear is about even with the front.

The answer is a function of tire diameter. If you are looking for ride height (and therefore suspension geometry, you have to measure from the center of the hub to the fender.

35" rear, 34" front (AC lift + NX4 1" strut spacers in the front) sitting on 31" tires. Chuck is correct on the "hub to fender" thingie though.

These may be +/- 1/4" because i just put up the tape measure to the middle of my centercap but..

Rear Hub to Fender Flare - 16"

Front Hub to Fender Flare - 17"

___________________________

My 20's are on at the moment and i think they do raise my car over my 16"s with the snow tires. Its lower on the snow tires, but if i had all seasons or something on the 16"s with less beefy tread like the snow tires have, it'd be even lower.

Rear Floor - Fender Flare - 30"

Front Floor - Fender Flare - 30 3/4"
