You should add to this thread measurements. The three best I can think of are from the ground
1: to the center of the wheel
2: to the top most point of the fender well
3: the gap from the tire to the top of the fender well.
Front & rear.
I have a 08 lt with 16" wheels.
Front
1: 11 3/4"
2: 26 1/2"
3: 2 3/8"
Rear
1: 12"
2: 28"
3: 3 3/4"
After searching for endless hours I think this is the best way to end all the bitching about what does what better. I really want facts instead of " mine's lower thatn that" & "They suck because I didn't buy them" type stuff. If enough people do this we can average it out and help everyone be more informed.
Forgot to add I have stock springs & struts.

Haz l33t wheelz.
the rears have settled a little more, i think it looks lower in person. Better yet, it took us 45 to install all four, haha. I did the rears myself in about 5 minutes, booyah.
