Lumina,Grand Prix,Aurora,Delta-Regency Royal-88,98 are the vehicles I found as mentioned on another web site.

take and park your vehicle on flat ground and load it down with the normal weight you use in it. then take something 1 inch tall and put it on top of the tire, if it has hardly any clearance don't get it.

i don't suggest 16 inches as that will be a tight squeeze and if you go over too many bumps they may bottom out on you.
