I will be getting some coilovers here soon and I was wondering what height you guys are running from the ground to the top of the fender wells in the front and the rear....

Mind you I am running 18x8.5 (in the front and 18x9.5 in the rear.
I am runnign 245x40 and 275x35 tires.

 

i have that question into someone that spends lots of time on the track right now.

will let you know when i find out..

beers

 

Mine is 13 3/8 hub center to fender front, and 13 3/4 in the rear.....that is roughly 25.5 +/- 1/4 on the front from ground to fender and about 26.0 rear. ( 265/35/18 Neovas on 10.5" rims with about 1/2 tread left)

Those are the average on as flat a ground as I could find....Plus it's corner weighted so they aren't the same on both sides

Edit: I just realized I had some heavy tools in the trunk...so re-measured the rear was almost 1/2 in higher or about 14 1/4 from center to rim

 

that saved me a fw, thanks dan!

Thank you sir... appreciate both of you for all your help

 

for geometry, don't go below 26" with a 25.3" diameter tire or equivalent based on your tire diameter

however, you may not be able to go this low due to insufficient shock travel clearance depending on what you have

 

ok,

this is now a math problem! thx!

beers

 

26 -[ (25.3 - X)/2] where X = your tire OD

 

Sounds about right....mine is about 1/4" low by those #'s in the front...

 

Luckily I am pretty decent with math... I will let you guys know what I come up with. Mark, if you dont mind me asking where did you get this fromula

 

experience, but it's just a general rule of thumb and you may want to experiment for yourself. 1/4" may be within the range of opinionated error ...

 

AW....don't be too nice

I actually planned on raising it up a bit at the next alignment..but it just never seems to happen
