I never found an answer when I was looking this up and from what I can see and measure, you don't have to worry about going so low that the roll centers end up below the road surface.

I'm at 26.5" from floor to bottom of fender. If you are on ots Bilstein you will probably need to run on the higher side around 27" or more to avoid bottoming out the chassis on the pavement on common road imperfections.

Edit: I am on 275/40/18 yokohama ao52
