Yes, I ride to and from work at that height all day every day 
I also have a monster incline in my driveway, most speedbumps and inclines just take patience. I ran a spacer in the rear because I could stick my hand in and feel my rolled fenders still... just didn't seem pushed out enough.
Honestly, to me the car is not that low, it is 2" clearance in the front but because of the way the X is designed, the sides and rear have tons of room.
Thanks for all the comments!

The rears and sides do still have a lot of room, and when I've had clearance issues only once have I actually hit the rubber part of the bumper, usually its the splash guard underneith that scrapes just barely since it's the lowest point on the front of the car. I'd roll that low if the house/work situation allowed but unfortunately for me that isn't the case at the moment.

one of the best colors for the X... however imo u have too much goin on with ur front bumber... lip+license plate+air ducts+canards makes everything look jumbled together... i think it'll look alot cleaner with the ducts removed... but overall, nice setup with the wheels...

^Nice shot; I've been sizing rims and figuring a good oversized setup; those are way too stretched to inspire confidence tho at a track. Stretched isn't good for dealing with a lot of turns that are by nature more one direction than another, and I've corded OEM's nuff... I do think the 275's would be quite nicer IMHO.

Luckily its 99% daily driven.. my track day prep is going to be like a week long affair with suspension tuning and swapping wheels etc.
But this is the ultimate aggressive wheel thread
