Stock EVO X tire-to-fender 'finger gap?'

Can anyone with a stock X do me a quick favor and check how much 'finger gaps' it is, front and back?

I put my stock springs back on after being on Eibachs and the car seems to have excessive wheel gap, even considering stock springs.

Does the year or model matter? (GSR / MR)

If not, I can check my 2014 MR at lunch in an hour or so...

Mine is a 2011 GSR but I don't think ride height has changed between model years or models.

So... yes please, thanks in advance!

Hm, mine is 4.5 fingers (closer to 5) front and 4 fingers in the rear. Even by just looking at it you can tell it is sitting higher than a stock X .

Do you guys think the ride height will drop a bit if I let the springs settle? I've only driven 15 miles or so after putting on the stock springs.

Your hand size has a lot to do with it partner. I'm betting it's close to right.

A standard unit of measure such as a ruler or tape measure would be more precise than the "finger test".

Well I wanted a quick reply. Had I asked for an actual measurement this thread would have 0 replies.
