American Muscle 10th anniversary 18x10 (+45) replicas for me. For now running 255's all around. Yeah they're stretched a bit but not too bad really. Already had the tires that are practically new so I'll have to wear them out before getting at least 275's on there.

Yes, I know... it needs to be lowered :yuck:

Seeing your pic makes me wonder if the car that I picked up "mostly stock" is actually lowered already. Can you tell from a pic? Guess I need to get a wheel off and look.

I'm on a hill which tends to bring the front end up with the parking brake on. Yours looks factory from what I can tell.

Find a real measuring stick and a level piece of pavement (your garage floor must be good enough) and measure the distance from the floor to the top of the fender arch at the wheel center. There have been enough folks here who put those numbers up for you to compare. For example, my 2009 GT/CS starting/before numbers were:
LF 28 5/16 RF 28 5/16

LR 29 5/16 RR 29 9/16

Immediately after installation of FRPP "P" springs and Koni Sports, with same tire tread depth and half a tank of fuel:

LF 27 11/16 RF 27 10/16

LR 28 10/16 RR 28 11/16

Each of them settled another sixteenth lower after five hundred more miles, same tires, same spot on the garage floor, half a tank of fuel.
