Pic of mustang with RTR wheels without drop?
Like the post says. Does anyone have a pic of the mustangs with lowering springs? I know people suggest to have the car lowered for the wheels, curious as to the looks.
I have the performance package 19s and they look ok without a drop.

I have the Roush extreme springs and they fit fine in the fenders. I wouldn't go much lower with these wheels unless you have good roads where u live. Without springs these wheels would probably give a 4x4 look in my opinion.

Reducing the offset moves the center of the contact patch outboard which causes steering problems like tracking errors, following cracks or ridges in the road. The suspension is designed for the contact patch to be in certain spot relative to the king pin angle. That point on most modern cars is inboard of the king pin point so that the car has some degree of auto correction in the steering under sever load. That causes deflection in the lower rear bushing of the front control arm and is the reason it is so big. If the actual center point of contact is out board of the desired design point the front does not correct properly and the car wanders, stability is compromised.
