Ride height help

Tomorrow I'm going to have the car raised a bit to have a little better ground clearance, especially the lip. I have H&R coil-overs and I'm not sure what it's set to but it must be near the lowest. Can someone take a measurement of what the stock fender gap is from the edge of the sidewall to the bottom of the fender lip. Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure what measurment you want. My stock car with 25" tires is1 1/4" from the top of the rear tire to the bottom of the fender lip, 1 7/8" on front. I have 6 1/4" of front spoiler clearance.

I have a C4 Cab with the X74 suspension. From the highest point of the wheel well to the ground is 25 1/2 inches. This was a drop of 1" in the rear and 1 1/2 inches in the front over stock.

Red Devil, I live on LI as well and my height from the ground through the wheel center to the top of the wheel arch is 25 3/4". I have the C4S chin spoiler and have not had any real issues but I'm also pretty careful.

Thankfully, you guys are smarter than me. Ground to high point of the well arch is the best way to do it. When I get the car today, I'm going to do the lip, front and rear wheels. The mechanic said due to some funky design on my H&R fronts, he was limited to only about 1/2 an inch up and matched the rear to it. The car was corner balanced pretty well and he took some negative camber out of my rear b/c he said the inside of the tires were wearing WAY faster than the outside. He said this was mostly due to much more straight driving than turns. Maybe I DO need to go to tail of the dragon!
