This is a parking garage so tight (it was built as an afterthought) that
some of the parking spots are marked "6' clearance". If a car is coming
down the parking garage, and I'm coming up it, the car coming down has
to back up if I'm going around one of the turns on the ramps since my
2nd gen doesn't have enough turning radius to make it with them going by
the other direction.
Real scary when you get those female Prius drivers coming down the ramp
at high speed, cutting the corners and generally being too busy arguing
with their kids on their cell phones to pay attention. :)

It was about 6'10" overall on the 40" MTRs. It has 42" SX IIs on it now,
I think it'll still clear a standard 7' garage door.
I've been in 7' clearance garages with the 40s on it and I tell you, I
duck for every beam. It's hardly taller overall than a stock SuperDuty
or newer Ram HD. Very low for the tire size and still having [what's
left of a] a full body.
Lots of trimming to clear the 42s but that was mainly due to different
wheel backspacing.
