Need a favour :)

Hello

I need some measurements off a standard R27/Cup 197 please. Looking for the measurements front/rear from the wheel centre to the arch lip, on level ground please

Cheers

Gaz..just be aware that chances are everyones is different due to the shell being partially plastic etc.
When mine was measured for my alignment set up it was found that the right side sat 5mm lower than the left!
Gallic flair i guess u could call it!

Ah thats ok, i just want it as a reference point, as i'm running coilovers now, but still want the slight rake it has at standard


**Doh can someone move this to suspension, only just realised its in wheels & tyres!

Done

Mine is 352 -355mm at the front, and 358mm at the rear. However it hasn't moved since being jacked up. Will measure again once I have driven it.

Thanks chaps! Think I need to raise the rear a little, as standard set up had a slight rake forward. Its not slammed, just dropped 15/20mm

Standard Setup;

Rear = 365mm
Front = 360mm

*EDIT*

Just re-read OP, my measurement are from the FF setup. D'oh. Might be helpful to someone in the future though.

Sorry I haven't, will check again tomorrow, car is parked up and the rear is inaccessible at the moment.
