Post what you think?

just thinking because i want to put the inside back together like rear seats would it be such an issue with the wheels catching in the arch?

Kind of hard to tell from the angle of the pics
But looks like it could be 80mm, possibly a bit more

That is SLAMMED. Way too low IMO. Probably 80-100mm. You sure there's not a dead body / 12 bags of cement in the boot?? That's really pretty damn low!
