You'll probably be really close to the pavement with the chin spoiler. *might* be ok but depends on how big of a headache you want lol. I was still thinking of lowering 1" which should still be in the clear but a little more hassle when driving.

If I remember later, I can measure the distance between the chin and the pavement with stock 17" wheels.

I had originally lowered my car 1.5" all the way around and was close to hitting curbs and such when parking. When i decided to convert to the Roush nose w/front splitter i changed the springs to 1" instead and I am much happier with that result.

I did forget my ruler yesterday, got too excited with the wheels :s

You can see the pictures in my other thread in the appearance section, "new mod on its way" and you can probably have an idea of how it is at about stock height. Went from 17 to 18" rims though.
