The original question asked whether the altimeter is set to indicate the
altitude at the wheels or "at the level...",
and if that question has been definitively answered, I missed it.

Somebody posted a link to the altimeter calibration procedure, and that
procedure calibrates the altimeter to the altitude of the instrument.
There is no provision in that document for adjusting the indicated
altitude to account for the relative position of the instrument in the
aircraft.

There may be another document that does so - an altimeter is not
certified for IFR just by itself, the =installation= has to be certified
too, and the FAA could easily require such an adjustment as not.

OTOH, there may =not= be another document which does so. When an
altimeter =installation= is certified, what procedure is followed?
