Default I need pics...

the wheel spacing from the top of the tire to the bottom of the fender from those of you who have 9½'s up front. If you have one with 11's in back that would help too.

Here's why... I think my car was lowered in the front... but not the rear. I have the 9½\11 combination and there is not enough room to squeeze my finger in beween the fender and the top of the tire in front, but there is 2" of space between the ¼ panels and the top of the rear tires. Over the weekend ToyC4 came down for a drag racing event and his car was able to clear the curb at the end of my driveway where I bottom out all the time.

I'll post pics of my car later this evening...

Default I have 8 1/2s in the front and my car is a completely stock 93 but

Maybe this will give you an idea. The line of dirt on the tire is what I'm considering the "top" of the tire (the rest is the top profile). With that in mind, I am measuring about 2" of space, as seen in the pic. Oh, BTW... my tires are really gross because of my driveway. Yup, need to do something about that

Not to hijack, but you need to bring in a truckload of gravel. Then bring the marching band over to tamp it down by marching back and forth over it a few times!

I know! I know! Just waiting for the tax return so that I can afford to feed the marching band!
