Default Is this car stock height?

I want this same look, but I think those are 15 inch custom made wheels and I can't find any 15's for the new mustangs. Does that car look like it's stock height? I'm thinking of sticking with a 17 inch rims and put a larger tire in the rear, but that would mean a taller tire than the stock diameter, which will decrease performance.

That looks like my ride height, not stock at all. I have the eibach springs and my car now has that same stance.

I would like a set of 16's to put drags on.... 15's.. dunno about those, seems too small for me, but I guess the smaller the better.

16's won't fit over the caliper in the front on the GT (you're 17's barely make it), never mind 15's. They either pulled the calipers and would temporarily run rear brakes only (why I have no idea) or swap down to smaller rotors and calipers (why I have no idea) See if you can get more info on this. ...somethins up

All it said in the article was it's a custom offset.

If you look at the front rims they are like 4.5 inch wide or something like that so it wouldn't be hard to offset them so that the caliper isn't an issue.

They also had to move the rear swaybar mounting bracket.
