Ground clearance isn't an issue cause it already goes thru stuff I shouldn't. Knocked a side sill off last year.
what kind of wheels?

Yes. Wife works in Truckee and only drives the evo to work on the worse days. It's the beater neon with snow tires most the time. My evo even got hit sitting in the parking lot at Raley's one time. Luckily, I buffed out the black paint on the rear bumper.

Their pretty strong. 16.4lbs. About $1900.00 delivered to the door.
Bought them thru Anglo American roadracing in Phoenix 877-flat-out.
Yes, you can do a group N caliper for less $, But by the time you add cheap rims your going to be close. And who the hell wants to change calipers every winter. Plus, I can go hit a track day any time during the winter.

Did that too many years. Hell, even one winter is too much. Put a heated driveway in two years ago. Got the track drive honda snowblower the second winter I lived here. You guys want snow? We use to live on the west shore. First winter there the snow was so deep you could not see the two story A-frame house next door.
