My car is lowered with the ST Springs and I rub everything around here if I'm not careful, you'd be a fool to drop any lower than in that picture above...

In my personal opinion if I were you...I'd buy some hub adaptors to change the bolt pattern from the fb bolt pattern to the fd bolt pattern giving you more wheel options...then I'd buy a sweet of 17*8 and drop it an inch...it would still be a good 2 1/2"s off the ground but the larger wheels with the 1 inch drop will make it appear alot lower...

screwing with wheel size and the rim will result in your miles on your car going up slower or faster so you would have to change all the readings to figure it out

Not if you're careful. My 205 and 225 50/15's are about the same diameter as the stock 13" wheels and tires.

Adapters was the single best thing I ever did. Got away from the 110x4 and 100x4 curse forever.
