The correct way to do this is to remove the springs and jack up the suspension until simulates full compression. I held the one ruler like this, flush to the inside top of the fender lip to extend the fender down next to the tire. Then I measured the distance from the top of the tire sidewall to the outside edge of ruler #1.

Distance from tire sidewall to fender edge:
Front: 19mm
Rear: 9mm

Notes: My fenders are rolled front and rear. I only rolled them and not pulled.
Thank you! This is really valuable info, I knew fitting 9" wheels would be tight. Do you know your camber settings in the rear?

Car looks great!
