Since the side wall of different tires can vary from brand to brand, (even though they share identical tire sizes) and I couldn't pin-point exactly where "dead" center of the wheel was, I chose a different location to measure.
Measuring from the bottom of the wheel (at the tire bead) to the edge of the wheel well, my car sits 25 1/8" in the rear, and 24 1/8" in front.
With 43000 miles on the car and a build date of Jan.04, the suspension has settled a bit.
Some forum members upon seeing it for the first time at different GTG's, have asked me if I lowered it.
