Hey guys, I'm running 8x8s on the rear but my 16x7.5x8 Turf Savers haven't shown up yet. Can somebody measure their setup for me and give me the height from center to ground with 5 and 15 PSI? I know that there will be deviations in the tires but I need an estimate to start working off of and can fine tune later. Thanks!

Last time I measured the circumference of mine on a 8x8 with 15psi one was 52" and the other was 50 1/2" but I don't think that will help too much or u could divide the circumference there is a formula but I don't remember it

circumference/pi=dia
The 50 1/2" tire is about 16", the 52" is around 16 1/2" tall.

Perfect. Thanks! I know the ultimate goal is to get our mowers as close to the ground as allowed, but being that this is my first mower, I'm  going to start with the frame a little (1/4"-1/2") high just to give me some wiggle room until I find the right tire/rim combo for my mower.

Your best bet would be to wait for the tires to get there. I have seen the same size tire vary 1-2 inches.
