Not near it to measure but it is the same as any CFTP car, which if I had to guess will be 1-2 inches of wheel gap. If you look in my phots that i have posted you can see there isn't much.

Just FYI, he has returned back to the stock CFTP springs.

I don’t know what the wheel gaps are , I just know floor to wheel heights. Can you provide that?

I’m curious as to why the gap measurement matters so much? You’ve been all over the place asking for pics, and measurements, etc etc and we’ve all answered your questions. My car is on jacks without wheels so I can’t give you that info, not that it would matter since you can easily measure your gap and subtract 1/2 to 5/8” off of that based on average CFTP lowering numbers already provided.

I was wondering the same thing but, since mine got driven yesterday, it was still uncovered. Grabbed a tape and snapped a couple photos. I hope they help. Tires and wheels are both OEM sizes and this is a CFTP.

I decided to go with the MSS springs to get the adjustability I desire paired with steeda camber plates. I do have a general question, for anyone out there , can anyone tell me if I drop car 1.25-1.5 inches on the base model in front do I need a spacer to pull the tires out or am I safe from any clearance issues ? If I need a spacer , which one do you recommend?

I assume you will need a spacer but not sure on thickness. Tim at OP Mustang is one of the best with various sizes.

You will not need a spacer if you are using factory wheels.
