From the ground - F 26.75, R 27
From the wheel lips - 23.25 for both F & R.

Very interesting. It seems that your from-the-ground measurement is spot-on for a full 1.2" F and 1.0" R drop. Your rear tires only only marginally taller than the OEM sizes (10mm wider with the same aspect ratio), so those numbers are accurate. I think your wheel-lip measurement is affected by the aftermarket wheels, so you are right; that one is not comparable.
This is more confirmation of my belief that my front ride height is too high. The number has to be less than 27".
Thank you for taking the time to measure and post your results.
