can anyone tell me what the ground clearance is on my Cooper please?

In the manual it just tells me what % gradient it can drive down/up onto whithout grounding out.

I am to dumb to try and work the gradient back with the car dimensions to find out the clearance at the lowest point. I will settle for the figure in inches or millimetres, just spare me the maths lesson please.

Thanks.

Cooper with 175/65-15 tires = 113mm (4.5")

Cooper S with 195/55-16 tires = 120mm (4.8").

thanks miniac,

you wouldn't have an idea of clearance with my specific wheel set up, 17" s spokes on the standard supplied profile run flats would you?

Thanks in anticipation

The std 17" wheel/tyre combo is just slightly smaller than the 16", so I'd say you had just about 117mm/4.6".

Cool,

thanks for the info.

I now know that coop can go where I need it to without having to risk the exhaust mountings.
