Front clearance on GT2 and Techart Bumpers?

Guys,

After the PPS9 and GT2 bumper install I have been scraping too much for my taste.

Today I drove down a hill with a stop sign at the bottom and the car scraped.

What is your front wheel arch hight and the resulting front bumper clearance?

Because I'm runing 18s that are 1/2" wider than stock with stock tires I lost about 5% of wheel diameter since the tire gets stretched out and looses hight.

My front wheel arch hight from the ground up is 25 1/2".

My front GT2 bumper clearance is 5"

Here is another question for a tire expert: How much greater is the diameter on a 19" tire and how much does it raise my front bumper?

I also still have an ugly gap in the front, 19s might take care of that too:

EM 996 GTS is infamous around these parts
if you drive your car in the city, then you must avoid certain streets with steep slopes.... some times you have go down/up the hills on an angle at a very slow speed.


nice ride!
