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.

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

Or maybe...

A Full Traction 6 inch longarm 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.
