Tire height check

[Chevy_Guy]

I am looking for some one to measuer the actual height of a nitto 555r in 275/40-17 and 245/45-17 mounted on a rim and inflated. I know they will be shorter than the current set up on the pony rims and I need to figure out the suspension so I don't have stupid looking fender gaps.

This might help, it's a tire comparison chart. Like in my case I went from 305 35 R18 to 305 45 R18 which added 2.4 Height aka 1.2 Sidewall. So I knew before hand I had to raise the rear 2.5" and my speedo would be off 6 MPH

Basically the same height, not even 1/8 of an inch difference. I can have my cousin measure his on his 89 GT as my car is still in the air. But we both had Pony rims then went to 17's, no change.

Just get some FRPP B or C springs and it will drop it down anyways but not too much. My BBK springs are a bit too low almost.
