Working out ground clearance knowing pod offset and wheel diameter? - tatter06 - 1st-Mar-22

May be a stupid question, but is there a way to calculate what the ground clearance (for this purpose: gap between a flat surface and the bottom of a motor pod) will be if you know 

A)the offset of the pod
B)the outer diameter of the tyres

Appreciate this will only affect the rear of the car and the front will be more guide related than pod/tyres.

Obviously yes if you know the offset...

Ah fantastic thank you, I've never seen the height part of that table before.

I've assumed the diameter of the Axle is irrelevent to make a little calculator.
