1994 E500 with stock wheels and 225/55-16 tires.

From below the fender lip to the center of the center cap star:
FrRt: 13 7/8
FrLt: 13 15/16

RrRt: 14 3/8
RrLt: 14 3/8

I'm not sure why the front is 1/16 of an inch different...

Hope this helps.

My gap at the rear is exactly 15" on each side, and the car hasn't moved in 2 days. Credit an entirely brand new, OE suspension for that largish dimension...not even broken in

In front, it's at 14 1/8" both sides. Suspension also fresh up front.
