Knowing this dimension for a standard set up on good springs would be the benchmark to check against.
My roof height is 1440
Good morn,
GAM is as standard and has 165/80R15 tyres fitted..

The roof height is 1480mm (perhaps the saloon is shorter - I don't know).
The wheel axle to ground height is 300mm with the 165/80 tyres.
The rear suspension to ground height is: 245mm (measured to this fulcrum):
