Re: How low can you go

Legally you can't be below the scrub line. Meaning as a state patrolman told me, "I don't care if you have 20 inch wheels and rubber band tires as long as nothing touches the road when you have four flat tires and I can push it off the road". That won't keep you from getting hung up on driveway entrances and speed bumps but is legal.

The front end of my 48 was actually this low with the camaro subframe under it. Here with my aunt at a family reunion at my house. I was quasai legal with 14 inch wheels on the front but would have been legal with 15 inch wheels .
