Measuring my 1973 MGBGT, ground to underside of the chrome strip(if I had
one) was 24 1/2" front, 25" rear, with ground to wheel center measuring 12".
A bit of subtraction equals your results. Ground clearance to the bottom of
the sill lip at the jack point is 7", considerably different than your 5
1/2". Don't see how that could be.
My tires are 195/65/15 front, 205/60/15 rear.
My question is "what difference does it make, and why do we care"?

Gurus,
I need some advice on my MGB GT V8 (1970 body) ride height. My front
measures 12.5" and rear 13" - from centre of hub to bottom of chrome
trim. I measured the clearance to the bottom of the sill panel
(lowest bodywork) and it is 5.5". The book says the GT V8 should
have 4.5" clearance so am I high?....or do they measure to somewhere
else like the exhaust ??? I have 185/70/14 tyres
Regards
Barrie
