i was think about goin rally style, and drift a lil later on. it is basicly the same. but to my question. what size tire can i fit on my fc, i want bf goodwrench all terains, but i dont know what size i can fit, like 225 or so on, and what width is the max on stock wheels????

 

lol im thinkin you mean bfgoodrich a/t's, interesting ive never seen an actual offroad tire on a car before. im sure there are actualy rally tires that are purpoe built

 

Wait... rally car... then drift car? Won't rally racing take quite a toll on your car? I mean will your car be "physically" capable of drifting after the rally abuse? Just wondering...

 

All I have to say is good luck with that.

And BTW, the widest tire I have seen on stock wheels (s5 n/a) are 225.

 

yes actually, when you build the rally car, there will be some body dngs and such, but most rally cars(or at least mine) will have a custom skid plate built to cover the oil pan, tranny, basicly th ewhole front end. and drifting is really just for fun, but the damage is not to big. the suspension will mostly be stock, cuz if i lower the fc, it will really take a toll on it. i kow that there are rally tire like perillies(sp) and michellin, i just like the bfg's a/t's. were i live the is a lot of sudden mud and puddles, i like the way that they perform on my sis's jeep.

 

you should change your name to " wanna be rally drifter" .....................................LOL

 

i just might do that

 

 

what is our bolt pattern 5 by what

 

114.3

 

i am goin to go with the pirelli type x tires

 

i am goin to need to raise the height, any ideas, besides bigger rims and tires...like diff springs

 

any cluses on the ride hight issue, any springs i can use to raise teh hight

 

How about a Rubicon Express 4 1/2 inch lift?

Or maybe...

A Full Traction 6 inch longarm lift?

 

i dont think that will match up, but that is a lil extreme

 

yeah while hes at it get dual transfercases and lockers front and rear, i prefer the warn upright 8274 for extraction purposes, and an exo cage for sure.

but in all seriousness "wanna be dk" has watched 3fast 3furious one too many times.

 

what is 3 fast 3furious, i have allways rallied, i love the sport, i was just wandering what kinda stuff can help my hight issue

 

buying a truck would solve that problem.

rx7's should not be lifted

 

i dont mean a lift, just like a half in taller, more of a evo or sti setup, not a 4 inch mud bogger lift

I think you can go 235's on the rear with stock and I found out with the offset on my wheels(aftermarket) I could only go 215's in the front.

 

I don't know that there's any manufacturer of a taller spring or shock for the FC. Most people don't use these cars for rally, so you're going to have to concieve something yourself.

Perhaps strectching the spring with some heat? its goign to have to be custom, so you choose.

I would probably just jam a larger tire on there, height wise. You can probably gain another inch by goign to something with a taller sidewall.

 

i figured there was something like that, all well. there is actually alot of fc rally racers, i saw some on tv one day

 

yeah if im not mistaken in the class they were in back in the day, they were quite the compeditor.

 

they actually still are a compeditor in the rally, just not in the class of the sti or evo
