The 170mm was from the straightedge on the hubface to the outmost portion of the spring. We have the half-ass psuedo coilovers. In the back the 170mm was from the straightedge on the hub to the trailing arm.
Those are correct.
The rears tend to hit the trailing arm that snakes forward...

What size tires were you planning on using?

In the rears, even with a 255 / 265, the sidewall should be pretty vertical.
Some of the "curb protection" sidewall profiles might take away another 1/2" of clearance...
Bridgestones tend to have bulgy sidewalls, for example...
