Yes, I believe you would have significant fender gap at 108. With stock size tires, I estimate the fender measurement would be pushing 27". And while that may be RoW factory spec, it does look a bit tall visually. The 25.5" number that is frequently thrown about as being "euro height" is actually 1" to 1.25" lower than true RoW factory spec.

Again FWIW - my measurements on the rear are similar. The popular and oft-quoted 25" "euro" height is actually an inch lower than true RoW spec when measured correctly.
