If you don't mind some time, it would be really cool if you could lower your car as far as it can and take some pics. I should know this, but what suspension do you have?

I'll speak for him as I helped put it in:
KW V2's

I myself run H&R coilovers. I am gonna drop mine back down this weekend. I'll hopefully snap some pictures of it clear!

Well mine is on H&R clubs and the pictures above are more than 1/2 way up from lowest. Could go down 2 inches from there. Basically could tuck rim if you wanted, but it would be impossible to turn.

///ACS330Ci's car is not that low already, because of his fat tires. I'm sure he can still go lower. I have a set of V2 before, I'm sure it can go lower.

here's my old ride, with KW too......

The KWs could be set a lot lower, but the car would scrap everywhere on the roads, driveways, and speed bumps around here
