212 Airmatic Calibration values and procedures

2010 E550 4 matic with air suspension. Long story short I am now stuck with fixing the calibration error others created. Problem is I do not know the actually factory ride height value and do not have access to a Romess inclometer for final input. Does anyone have values for measured ride height center of spindle to center of wheel arc fender? I have access to a scan tool that will perform the procedure and can adjust the ride height sensor values through raising and lowing the correct corner but I do not know what the actually ride height should be other than placing the sensors in the middle of the range but then do not know the corresponding romess inclination to input to finalize the process any help would be appreciated, links to info or specs thanks in advance. Steve

2010 E550 RWD.

Just went to drive and then let car sit on idle for 15 min. Measures 15” +- 1/16” around. I would call it 15” as small differences probably come from slightly uneven drive way.

Measured from middle of wheel to top of fender opening.

Yes, measured very even around. And I would think 4-Matic is the same.
