front arches

standard is about 3 - 3.5 inches from tyre to arch
sport/GSi is about 2.5 - 3 inches from tyre to arch

rear arches

standard is about 2 - 2.5 inches from tyre to arch
sport/GSi is about 1.5 - 2 inches from tyre to arch


all with standard wheel/tyre combo\'s

thats off the top of my head too... but is right for my GSi

dont forget though, the load inside the car (ice, etc) will all make a difference

if the car is sitting quiter low, could indicate duffed springs, so maybe time to upgrade your suspension :thumbs:
