Tire radius is 0.3" taller so subtract that. Measured with 3/4 tank fuel and very little in the trunk.
My fender to hub measurements are: Front 14 5/8" , Rear 14.5"
Yes I am aware that I'm giving different measurements front to back for to the hub, the front sits maybe 1/8" higher. They are very close.
Car has 135k miles on it. Original shocks .

- You may want to go from center of wheel to fender to take any difference in tire size out of it - Greg 2016-12-01 13:49:14 (457 views)
  - Very smart - or at least responses should include tire size too. Great call. - TwoSeven 2016-12-01 15:16:01 (448 views)
    - Yep, tire size can impact fender to ground clearance - KenFowles 2016-12-01 18:08:37 (518 views)
      - No idea what you're talking about, pretty sure this was a dealer option - TwoSeven 2016-12-02 11:40:05 (559 views)
        
        OMG - this is what happens when you think with your dick. - FourRingBling 2016-12-07 22:34:56 (412 views)
- Out of curiosity, what for? Original stock springs are almost guaranteed to be sagging by now. - TwoSeven 2016-11-30 21:21:53 (464 views)
  - wanting a baseline of front/rear difference on stock.. - audinutt 2016-11-30 23:00:57 (434 views)
    - My stock S8 measurements probably incorrect but here they are - KenFowles 2016-12-01 11:45:12 (506 views)
