I was curious about my car.. Some people are thinking its lowered (i purchased used) but i never thought it was.. Ive got stock 15" alloys (the 5 spokes w/ the T center cap) and 205/50/15 tires.. I measured from top of tire to top of wheel well and its measuring like 1.6 inches.. Is that stock? I just wonder to now because ive seen lowering springs of up to 1.75 and 2 inches for our cars ;/

T center cap?
Where the hell did you get that? You must have Tuscani rims on yours. All the Tiburon caps have H's on them.

Hard to answer to answer your question based on wheel gap, since so many things can make it vary.
Find a flat and level surface to park on. Using a level so you have a true verticle line, measure the height from the ground to the top of the wheel well. Use the center of the wheel as your reference point. Stock ride height using this method is 24.5" in the front and around 25" in the rear.
If it's 1" or more lower than that, I would guess you have some sort of lowering spring in the car. But which one is anyones guess.

Thats what i thought, just kinda wierd people thinking they were something different.. But something else.. Ive looked @ the way they sold tibs 97-99, the options, wheel packages and what not, and ive yet to find this wheel as an option.. Does anyone have a link for that?
