Wide-body 911 Rally / Safari Setup Advice
Hey Forum, I just got my wide-body 911 out of paint and starting to reassemble, I'm ready to make some decisions on the suspension but I'd love some advice on a Rally/Safari set up.
I live in NYC, the cars main purpose is to get out of the city and explore the backroads of upstate NYC. I imagine 80-90% of the time the car will be on tarmac, the last percent on gravel roads. I love the versatility of the keen project safaris but was wondering if there's a suspension, wheel, tire scenario that might be a bit more street friendly than a full safari set up. I don't look at this as a track car more an Urban Escape Vehicle.
I've received a lot of great advice regarding a safari setup but not as much for a more rally type approach.
Here's a few questions:
What do I gain or loose by going with either approach (safari or more street focused rally)?
Wheels:
For Safari's Paul at Braid recommend 16x7 wheels with an offset of ET30, the rear would use a 25mm spacer for the turbo flares, what would be appropriate for bit more street focused and less off-road scenario?
Tires:
For Safaris it seems BFG K02 tire is the popular choice, is there a recommended road/rally tire?
Struts and shocks:
Seems to be lots of good shock options for Safari builds that will raise the car a few inches. Would this be necessary for a rally style build or could standard shocks work?
Any advice would be helpful and appreciated.
