There is, as determined by wheel/tire combos. There was a another thread listing the exact measurements, but the 17" rims are the lowest fender-to-ground distance. Some minimal distance like .25 inches I think.

I'll see if I can find it.

Grab a tape measure and measure from the ground to the center of the wheel arch and compare to:

From the Factory Service Manual (ie FSM)

Wheelarch Height (Unladen = full tank of gas, spare tire, jack etc in stock locations)

With 17"
Front: 691 mm (27.20 in)
Rear: 702 mm (27.64 in)

With 18"
Front: 694 mm (27.32 in)
Rear: 710 mm (27.95 in)

With 19"
Front: 699 mm (27.52 in)
Rear: 710 mm (27.95 in)

These measurements are from the ground to the high point of the arch (centered on the wheel hub).

Thank you. That's the answer I was looking for. I guess it is just a bit stiffer then non sport.

Great info here. Thanks. Exactly what I need.
