I don’t have exact numbers, but maybe 1/2” to and 1” higher.
here are my measurements from the garage floor with 18” wheels and Michelin Pilot 4S tires
F: 225/40R18
R: 285/30R18

Tape measure is perpendicular to the floor, the iPhone camera isn’t.

Good information. Thanks.

I would be happy with 1/2" increase over stock. I also have tires that will give me a small increase.
