Hi Rick, I got 3 different readings, from 15 3/4" to 16 1/2" 
so i guess it's variable.

Rick, I measured from the ground to the wheel well lip and mine reads 28 3/4". Gives ya another measurement to go by, too.

Too many variables involved. Chances are there were never any two cars produced that were the same. There is a "base" measurement(+/-) from the ground to the wheelwell lip in the engineering specs, and, I believe, in the alignment specs. I'd have to dig that info out, if no-one else has it handy...

I was just wondering ,because I notice that like Joel said the gap is different on each car just about.
