What fender height are you running?

Tomasz@Startup · 07-21-2005, 09:13 AM

I want it to look good, but also to have plenty of clearance. (My wifes car, and she is not going to pay special attention.)

Today mine is at 26F and 26 1/8R - little high.

I'm with you-- I'd like it looks-wise just a little bit lower, but it's nice to be able to better clear speedbumps, etc. Cornering is very good, as opposed to <great!> when lower...

is'nt fender height subject to the wheel/tire combo you are running? shouldn't you measure from the center of the hub to the fender lip? when i went from 17's to 19's if i put my fender height the same as with the 17's(ground to fender)i look so slamed it's stupid,had to raise it up about 1/2 inch,and it still looks lower than the stock wheels.

Your recommendation is valid, but ground to fender has stuck...

I can also tell you that if your fender is bent (as after hitting a tire wall) it is hard to get an accurate reading as well.
