The Exec is at a shop about 30 minutes from my house, and I called and got some measurements from the mechanic.

- Verified my tire size is the same.
- The rear corner of the FRONT wheelwell (behind the tire) is 9.5" to the ground.
- The front corner of the REAR wheelwell (in front of tire) is 8.5"... so 1" drop.
- The rear corner of the REAR wheelwell is 12" ... higher body line that moves upward toward the rear bumper.

Is my 8.5" number where you are referring to 9.5" as being correct? That would match the front. 1" difference doesn't seem that low but maybe it's more noticeable than I realize.
