Currently have jamex suspension but dont know ride height?

And i want to lower the car slightly as i want to get rid of the gap betweent the arch and tyre. so how do i know what the ride heght is?
looked up jamex website and they have 25mm, 35mm and 40mm and 60mm but i dont have any idea what mine are!
any ideas how to tell?
heres a pic if that helps?

the tyre size is 185x45 by 15" alloys

and with 195 x 50 profiles it looked like this:


thanks

Measure from centre of wheel to wheelarch, and compare against a standard car.

that would be good if i had a spare standard car which is 'standard' ride height.

Someone on here does though! Its come up a number of times previously, a search should be able to find similar threads, and the measurement of a standard car.

I got told standard height was 360mm! Measure from centre of the wheel, to the lip of the wheel arch! Your car looks just right with the ATS cups on it!

yes it did sit right with cups as the tyre size was 50 and rubbed like mad so changed them when changed alloys and now theres a gap.

Rubbed on the front or the rear? Mine rub on the rear if I have someone in the back!

on the rears only so i may have t have the arches cut or pulled back!

got the rubbers on the bbs rims and yes they are 15" i thought 185 tyres are quite common?

o right okay….. well yes the 185 tyre is quite common but not in a 45 profile ive looked hi and low for these trying every garage come tyre fitting house and ther saying that NO manufactuer makes a 185 45 tyre??? that strange that you.ve got a set.. and i want a set  :cry: lol

what width are the bbs's and have you got any closer to solving you problem/mystery???

chreers

still not find out what my lowered height is so i may just go for a 60mm drop and hope for the best.

thats what i have on mine.

Nankang??? i havent heard much feed back on that make are they any good??

bling have you had any probs with them…. and i think 60 should be a good drop and close up the arch gap nicely… what springs and shocks are you going for?
