Gen 1 Fender to hub versus ground to pinch weld correlation

Does anyone know how pinch weld height and hub center to fender correlate with respect to the front of the car? I know fenders can vary, as well as how you call measurement points.

Previous owner mangled my front pinch welds (folded over and smashed the floor up) so I can't use them as a measurement point. Rear pinch welds are fine.

As an example:

Rear => 13.2" hub center to fender, 22.5" bottom of a 17" wheel, 5.125" / 130mm pinch weld to ground.

I'm more or less trying to figure out what hub center to fender looks like for the ballpark of 120 – 135mm front pinch weld to ground on a Gen 1 with a 255/40/17 tire on a 17" wheel.

I get that this is fuzzy math, trying to be in the ballpark. Looks like I got it way wrong with 21 7/8 bottom of 17 to fender on my car.
