You can run any wheel you want with a drop. It is your tire size that will matter on a dropped car (less fender room for more tire). You will just need enough camber for everything to clear with a drop as opposed to stock ride height (like me)

The stock wheels could handle a 3" drop, because their offset isn't one to worry about. +45's can be slammed on.

they dont have enough drop, and the soft ride makes it have HUGE body roll, just like stock. I got lowering springs to decrease body roll.
