lmao, well mathmatically calculate it to the exact cm! </endpowerangersteamvoice> tehe
To be honest guys ur car has to be really low to scrape allot, and im talking like fairly frequently on big encounters with big inclines/declines that you werent expecting.

Damned driveways. And damn PA while we're at..hills and whatnot.
Will a kit sustain those scratches, or will they just shatter? I know you said they are meant, but I dunno..I've seen plenty of F'ed up kits..

If you go up in size on the rim the gap will seem to get bigger, im not sure if it actually gets THAT much bigger, but i personally think it looks wacky when a car has a showy and classy type cosmetic rim and the car isnt lowered i just like to see a lil more agressive stance, and remember, going lower although it does require you to be a lil more safe in certain circumstances, it grips the corners much better and is more fun to drive
so its not all that bad 
Just do a modest drop noone says u gotta slam hehe.=B=

Well, I don't want any drop that's going to make me look like a goon. I just need to stick to the road, you know waht I mean? Problem is..the roads around me...absolutely GORGEOUS for driving. Especially when it getsabove 70 like around here. My god..theres this road, 82, that turns from a long, hilly straight that goes into the woods and becomes twisty, and theres a turn that is an ESS at 15 mph that finishes over a bridge next to a Colonial farm (all in the woods!). HOWEVER...not a 1/4 mile later, theres a very steep, very sharp right turn onto another road,which happens to be banked on another angle. If I don't go all the way to the left and then turn sharply, I scrape. No matter what. lol
