I need to know how many fingers you can put between the front tire and the fender for the stock SVT suspension and tire combination.

X2, before I put the new tires on I could get about 3/4 to an inch of clearance.

I "think" this was stock tire size, not sure if it helps at all.

An SVT is a good 1/2 to 3/4 inch lower than a 2000 Focus and probably an inch lower than the newer cars and ST, they got taller as they got newer.
