You sure? Front is 115mm higher than the rear? Does it wheely?
Mmm, perhaps he measured it before off loading his delivery of granite?
Rear 420 front 400 on B14s with 18" Momo Revenge and 255 45 18 Ditch Finda tyres... can't go too much lower either sadly as there appears to be an upside down manhole on the bottom surface of the underfloor potable water tank... could be a panic room though as it's that huge, either way this large plastic nut on the tank presently sits about 80mm above the road surface... boo!
No typo, turns out it was my wallet in the back because I’m f****g minted ha ha
How fortuitous this topic has come back to life. I've been dicking about with my heights. I bought my used T28 LWB PV with VMaxx adjustable suspension. 255s on 8X20 Rotiform RSEs on the front, 275s on 10X20s at the rear. Had rubbing at the front. Raised the fronts to about 370mm, and rears to 390mm centres to arch edge. It must have been low to start with. Issue compounded as I had the wheels refurbed, and new tyres fitted. Tyre company fitted 275s all round by mistake, and reluctant to take them back.
On reading this thread, brought the front up another 10 turns - approx 20mm, and the rears up another 2 turns. 4mm on the springs, seems to be 7-10mm up on the wheels. Already more comfortable with less grounding out. I have a feeling I'm not there yet though....

Just been perusing this thread and something sprung to mind.
I was wondering when people are setting their ride height, and some have front higher than rear, some vice versa, does anyone consider whether the sill between the wheels is level to the ground or sloping up to the front/back?
Or does no one bother about the sill to ground?

I assumed yours was a typo as 265 is a lot less than the radius of the tyre (mine tyre radius is about 350)
I've also been wondering this.
