You guys are G's for driving that low. How do you get around town? I'm not nearly that low and my TTE lip scraps on most medium to large dipped driveways and this is with taking the dips from a sharp angle and going 1/4 mile per hour

HAHAH.. totally agree.

i got stuck once when i was entering my friends house area. rear exhaust sat on the ground and front was completely compressed. so the front and rear of the car was on the ground. it was WEIRD. gas.. tires spin.. haha. after that day.. i start parking out side of parking structures if it allows.

I'm on 225/40/18 and 245/40/18 so they're not the comfiest but yeah, better than my friends 30 profile 19s or anything like that. Potholes still does hurt and i cringe every time my upper arm bangs against the inner well...

I want 19" wheels but after considering tires and ride quality, I'm thinking 18"s and slammed might not be a bad idea

Being slammed on coilovers was fine for me, when I had no kit and conservative fitment. With an aggressive fitment in the front, it's impossible to turn without flipping your front fenders inside out. Also, one mistake and I could've been a few grand in the hole for needing new aero parts and paint.

I'd say under +20. I'm shooting for under +10.

Like the others said, it's all about the angle of the dangle.

My tires don't look very tucked due to the tire stretch, but they're up in there.
Didn't the OP ask about tucking rim? I'd say you can't drive that low,
or at least certainly not turn the wheels with the car that low...

My office exit: (low + slow = success) Bumper clears by less than 1/4"

Good luck driving slammed with a static drop with any sort of nice fitting wheels. One U-turn and your fenders are gonna pop off. With air you can ride dumped and lift the front before making U-turns. You might be able to get away with A LOT of camber in the front though.
