It would depend on the altitude of the obstacles surrounding the destination airport and the direction you were coming from, but almost inconceivable that it could be as low as that. look at 91.179. The more I think about it, using a FAA IR and N reg at a field with no published IAP is more restrictive than using an IMC in a G reg at that same field. Getting back in, you can do it legally with a lower cloudbase in a G reg/IMC.
