I was on a road rally last semester and took a wrong turn and ended up on a two track seasonal road through the woods, didnt want to loose time backtracking so i went for it, co driver found me the way out and i ended up winning the rally. Single lane two track doing 30+

Im just nervous to bend a rim or blow out something suspension wise. Roadkill out here sucks too. I have to dodge some animal in the road at least twice a week.

Dodging roadkill is the worst especially with traffic or the guy infront just drives right over it. Ive actually carried an opossum home with me before.

I either know the roads I'm driving or leave ample room in front of me to see the road and be able to swerve

Measure the outline of your subframe. Mockup a dimensional outline. Cut a sheet of whatever metal u want to use to those specs and bolt it into the subframe

So I picked up OZ Ultraleggeras off a local for $350 and had them fixed and powder coated for another $350. I am lowered on H&R springs and wondering how will I be with 245/40 street tires, will i rub at all?
