As an approximate guide, the standard ride height (assuming 15" wheels fitted with std diameter tyres - eg 185/70 & 215/60 or 205/55 & 225/50) should be 25.5" front & 25" rear. These figures represent the distance from the ground to the highest point in the centre of the appropriate wheelarch.

Mark - unless you're running on 12" Fuchs (!!) I don't hink that your ride height can be anywhere near 19" :lol:
