Start with maximum diameter tires without creating interference with
parts of the body/chassis, paying special attention to the fit of the
front wheels max left/right position. If you raise the height by
altering the springs you have to pay attention to the reach of the
shocks, you may have to change them for ones with more outward travel.
The geometry of the front wheels will change considerably if you raise
the riding height. Some serious mods may be necessary.
Also consider modifying the exhaust system by using bespoke silencers at
the rear only to create more ground clearance.
Fit skid plates under the car for protection.
