that determine the effect of the wheel/tire on height. You are describing different year-wheel styles, and i don't know if they went from 16" to 17" or what, or whether they changed the elevation of the car's suspension itself. itself, but there is a Web site where you input the full tire size and it gives you height, circumference and % effect on rotation vs. distance, in effect, mileage. http://www.powerdog.com . 17" rims with different 17" tires will sit higher or lower, etc. the Aero, at least in '03, came with BBS rims, and the sport supension package was a perk of the Aero, which sits lower than the linear, which can be a problem with those nice concrete parking lot things you pull over with regular cars' front skirts and INTO with the Aero. One of the few down sides of the car, and probably it handles better because of the same difference.
