Anybody Know who owns this red GT-5? I would like to know his wheel and tire sizes. And if anything rubs. Looks like it sits really nice and low.

Emery,
I thought that was Ray (Panther), the gentleman with the air craft style fuel filler?
For suspension geometry concerns its not wise to lower the Pantera beyond the point where the control arms are level with the ground at normal ride height, and that requires camber correction at all 4 corners. At that point you can barely fit a low profile "racer" floor jack under the front jacking points to raise the car. I know you can lower the car that far and still run 245/40R17 in front, 335/35R17 in the rear.

Hi Emery,
We emailed a few months ago. Just sent you an email.
I'm getting ready to go overseas again, and am away from the car. As such, I don't have the tire sizes handy. Wheels are eighteens. The car is sitting as low as it can safely go without screwing too much with the (Euro) stock geometry. It will go lower, but as George said, it's not recommended as things can get squirrelly in a hurry. Keep everything level and don't go beyond that. No issues with rubbing, but that's trickier to get right since you're now dependent on flare placement, wheel offsets, and tires; therefore, your mileage may vary.
Email works easier for me, due to my circumstances. So fire one back at me!
