I believe it's 14.5" from hub center to fender in the front. Not sure about the rear, but it's probably about the same.

LOL, I did this with my Honda accord daily a month ago. Good luck to me finding the measurements, at least here we have enthusiasts!

OE Tire size is 24.6" diameter
Take the fender measurements you found and -12.3" for the measurement you want.

Need to determine how much your car has lowered?
Distance between hub center and top of fender opening
Front is 14 7/16" and rear is 14 5/8"

That's about 1/4" higher in the front that I thought. I may have to revisit my ride height after learning this. Do you by any chance have a link to that info?

it depends entirely on the change in specifications of your aftermarket wheels AND tires. if you did it correctly, the final circumference of the new tires/aftermarket wheels will be the same size, and therefore, all the axle centerline dimensions will still apply.
