Nice looking 18s on this '73 Sport
Depends on what you consider stock. The "A-B" measurement is 0 instead of 1 7/8", so by the FSM suspension settings it's 2" lower.
But my front tires are 25.7" tall and the rears are 27.2", and those are taller than stock by more than a little. It's about 24 7/8" to the top of the wheel opening on my front fenders. Rears are up to about 26.5" now with the new 295/40/18's out back, I added about a 1/2" of rubber rake with those. I may put a 1/2" block in to drop it back down. Header flanges are just under 4" to the ground though.
There are definitely cars lower than mine, but once the header flanges get to about 3-1/2" off the deck it's just too big of a pain in the *** to drive normally on the street. Plus if you get too low the roll center goes negative, which isn't what you want. She's set up for best handling, function over form, and that goes for wheels, ride height, the whole deal.
