Measuring someone else’s car that doesn’t have the same diameter tire as yours won’t be much help to you.

15 inch wheels can be mounted up with a wide variety of tires that vary in diameter.

How about you share your tire sizes here to better determine where your car stands.

The 215/70-14 example posted above would be a 25.85” diameter tire nominally, different manufacturers who make tires that size won’t be exactly the same even though they’re the same listed size.

Either way I’m with ponchjoe, just adjust the car to the height you like that looks the best to you. As long as it doesn’t either bottom out on the road on big dips or have the tires scraping the fender when you’re making turns you’re good.
