Wheel travel
What is the wheel travel, front and back, on a stock '14 base model? How far could a wheel move up from a stock sitting position?
If I jack up 1 wheel at a time, would it go to it's max limit?
Thanks in advance.

Unless you swap to coilovers and remove the spring it is dang near impossible to know how far up the wheel can travel. Jacking up a wheel will not go to full travel because of the leaf spring. Several threads including one of mine have shown that the tire can hit the wheel well liner over extreme bumps. It is worse on a lowered car or when driven in softest shock mode. So a rough approximation could be made by measuring tire to liner.

I want to change wheels that will space the stock size (18"-19") tires outward 3/8" in the back and I/2" in the front. This puts the rubber closer to the fender lips, and may??? hit when the compressing the spring.
