the car is inspired to be like the 1980's gruppe b rally cars. started out stock height, on 17" twist wheels with 40 series Michelins. currently raising it 3" all around and installed 16x6 fuchs with bfg Baja champion off road Kevlar tires. In this pic the front has been raised and the rear has not. thus the jack stands in the pic to show likely ride height after raising it.
