Our '96 855R measures 25-1/2 inches in the front and 25 inches in the rear. With 17' Volans, I measure 1-3/4" beween the wheel and the opening in the front amd 1-1/8" in the rear. (These measurements do not jive!) When viewed from the side, the Isabel has a definate rake, rear to front.

My driveway is uneven, I'll measure in a parking lot tomorrow.

The car has 97,000 miles on it and we have owned it since October and 91k miles.

I do not know if any of the suspension has been changed since new.

I was surprised to find the front higher than the rear.

Good luck figuring out your car's stance.
