22 inches and also i think that the bodyline of your car can't be lower than your rim.

If the body line was lower than the rim, wouldnt the body be sitting on the ground?

no b/c i used to have a full body kit on my car, and with my 17s the body line was still higher than the rim. there was still about 4 inches ground clearance at the lowest point, also i have 205/40/17. however with my stock wheels, with the fatter tire, but smaller rim, the side skirts were lower than the rim. so i guess with the steelies they're illegal. well anyways i read it in superstreet, when they asked a chp officer questions on legal and illegal.

my uncle told me here in kali, it's 2" from the ground. no lower than that. all i know is that, the lower your car is and if you're not using it for drifting with a -2 camber, you better get some camber kit.
