Default Measurement from center of wheel to fender?

Can someone(or people) do me a favor and measure from the center of there wheel(hub) straight up to the top of the fender? I'm trying to figure out how much exactly my 04' T5 is so I can decide how much height I will gain from lowering springs or if I should buy stock replacement springs. For those that don't know my car had the springs torched to make the car lower which I am not cool with.

If your s60 is fwd and lowered I am also interested in your height so long as you provide what springs you have too

Thanks.

I went out to my T5 just now and measured ~14" (hub to fender) in the front and ~14.5" in the rear. Everything is stock on the '01T5.

Did you measure like this? Depending on where you look you can get up to half an inch difference. Picture needs to be rotated clockwise 90 degrees.

Yep, I measured like that hence the approximation. But I can see that two different people could take two different measurements on the same car. On your picture, I would call that ~13".
