There's lots of information in FSM. The pages you need are in section 3 steering, suspension, tires and wheels. Trim height 93 lists 4 models coupes should be approx 192mm. Measured at front edge of door and about 4 inches forward of rear edge of door. Measure from flat part of rocker panel to ground.
datum line is an imaginary line that locates points on underbody or frame. It's become an obsolete process with the advent of laser measuring systems.

Sorry if this is a stupid statement, but center of wheel to the ground is not anything adjustable unless tire profile changes. Or wheel size.
