I searched high and wide for that measurement before I asked my wife to join me in the garage. I don't understand why this measurement is not on every brochure. We moved and have single door garage openings, so this is a critical measurement for us in factoring the ease of pulling in or backing out without retracting mirrors.
The enquiry is serious enough, but I doubt there is published spec. As the vehicle is built the skin and add ons are positioned based on final alignment, where panels are attached to obtain a smooth surface. Vehicles also sway due to suspension [Lexus more than others]. Wheel base on the other end is a build spec.
In order to drive through, you need extra margins [angle of exit/entrance] and they need to be extra 8" [4" on each side] and then at the end some one has to exit the vehicle [that is another 3ft at least on the driver side].
If the inside walls are not 3ft away from the double-garage standard opening, the garage is only good for storage. IMHO
