Bit random - 991 4s dimensions

Excuse this for being a bit random but I need to find some specific dimensions for a 2015 991 4S. Specifically, i have a driveway that is quite steep and I need to ensure it will get over the top of it without fouling ! I've had a few 'low' cars but as you can imagine I'd be in the dog box somewhat if I buy a 991 and then can't get it up the drive into the garage :D
So, local dealer has been moderately unhelpful in letting me take one to check so plan B is lay out something in wood. To do that I need measurements from wheel centre to ground (F&R) and wheel centre to wheel centre(F->R). Then i can make a quick wooden jig to check. Also height from ground in a few spots under doors would help. I've searched high and low for even the base data but come up short so thought I would ask if there was a bored 991 4s owner with a tape measure and 10 spare minutes ! Worst case is I will go to the dealer and measure it.

Thanks in advance if anyone can help. I feel like a bit of a nutter for asking but it's the final hurdle to buying something.
 
Ok, here are some measurements which hopefully you can use. Mine is a C4S 991 with the PASM Sports suspension which is 10mm lower than standard PASM and 20mm lower than a normal car without PASM. 911's are low and wide but in general I have had no issues with clearance. I had worse issues with Audi S/ RS cars. At the front the 911 has a nice rubber/plastic valance which hangs down which you might rub before any damage to physical car. I have heard it touch once on a steep drive. Sleeping policemen etc are not an issue but a steep driveway will probably cause an issue.

Good film, not sure about the song :)

That is spectacularly helpful !

Had a quick go with a bit of wood - if its std height which would make the stated clearance 109+20 (as yours is -20mm) then that will get over the hump - just !
Migh have to slightly grade the top to make it less of an up and over. And then double check a std car.
 
Don't suppose you could do a measurement halfway along the wheelbase ie under the sill halfway ?
 
Last of the measurements:

Appx 244cm middle of wheel to middle of wheel- front to rear.

Appx 130cm - 140cm ish is towards back of the door.
