i dun know how true that statement is.... if someone was running 28" inch rims and had 12" of ground clearance at the lowest height doesnt mean they are slammed.....Originally Posted by erklep
thats gonna depend on what size wheels youre running. i believe i am 23 inches from ground to fender lip

i dont understand what youre trying to say? i was just answering his question on what my fender height it. i dont claim to be slammed, even though most consider it slammed. slammed is also a matter of opinion. some consider tucking tire to be slammed, other consider the body being an inch or so from the ground to be slammed.Originally Posted by steeb

Steeb, but he is talking about 18s, 19s and 20s. You could be running the exact same set up (offsets, widths, tires sizes) on any of those 3 diameters and you're still gonna be hammered if you tuck tire.
Running donk **** is irrelevant, I know a guy with a body dropped civic hatch on 22s.

erklep, i didnt say anything about your car or how "slammed" or not your car is.
guys im not confused, perhaps you guys are not understanding my extreme example. here is what i understand of the statements posted....
erklep responded
in other words.... a car is "slammed" when the actual clearance of the car is minimal, when did it ever have anything to do with wheel specs??? when did wheel specs ever come in to play with the cars ground clearance?

how many inches from the middle of your fender to the ground are you guys? I'm at around 25 inches and im just curious how much lower i need to go to be considered slammed.

The best way to determine drop is by top middle fender to ground length that is the most accurate determination on how much you are dropped.

Shane, care to post your measurements for the front and rear when you're all the way down on bags?

i wasnt answering his question as to "how much lower to be slammed" i said that fender lip to ground will vary depending on your wheel/tire size. Originally Posted by steeb

ground clearance is affected by both wheel and tire size as well as drop, obviously.

ahh i c what you are getting at. wheel and tires do have some relevancy in the height of a car. if you want to get that technical, alignment specs are also just as important for aggressive fitment and negative offsets. my car was a tiny bit lower before i added more camber so I had to lower it a tiny bit more after that.Originally Posted by erklep
