I'm a 5'5" 16 year old male, will i be able to grow at least 4 more inches?

Hard to say: Future growth is dependent on whether the growth centers in your long bones remain open. Most 16 yo males have up to 2 inches left. If your family has a history of delayed growth, these may be open and growth possible.An x-ray of your wrist and hand can detect your bone maturity.If the index is consistent with 14 you can grow 4.
