3 inches? wtf....

GO measure the drop again. If it is 2" or less, you're fine.

Don't go more than 2 inches or your tires may rub if you go with my size.

First off, why are you lowering a mustang 3"? Whatever floats your boat, but if this is in fact a 3" drop i would not do 18". You will turn a corner and probably be rubbing and will become relaly annoying. Similar experience with my friend... 18's would look how in the chrome, but check that drop again, or go with the 18's and change your drop....

if your car is lowered 3 inches that puts your lil skid plate and your cat/converter(assuming you have them) no more than 2 inches from the ground. if that is the case i hope you drive either VERY slow or on VERY smooth roads.
