Need help with Stock height measurement

Can someone do me a favor?

I need to know how high a stock FR-S is from the fender to the ground in the front and rear. I forgot to measure mine before installing coilovers!

the best way to measure is from the center of the hub, not the ground

I know that, I had a miata too :p. but people tend to get more varience with that because of the angle that they look at it. With a stock car it should be uniform (as long as the ground is flat) since we all have the same tires/suspension.

This. More consistent and works across different wheel sizes.

You have oversized tires on your car (215/50/17), I was looking for a measurement on a stock car
