    castor not set yet, in any case you should be able to get 14 x 8's inder with no issues.

    AE86 Chassis repair manual on page 50 says 237mm for the front as measured from the ground to where the LCA mounts to the body. Rear is 239mm as measured from the ground to where the rear lower control arm mounts to the body.

    And yes its not just "minimum 100mm" so dave is right.

    There is a law that states a cars original Suspension Travel may not be decreased or increased by more than 1/3 (33%).

    If you're worried about legal ground clearance... your car is too high.
