I'll be dealing with that very thing. I did want to go back to rallies when all is said and done, but I know that some of them won't clear the disc brakes, either. I might end up keeping the aluminum wheels I have now and using a spacer on the rears.

On the other hand, someone once told me that it very difficult to roll a vehicle that has a wider stance in the front than the rear
Like those French cars-Citroens (sp?) You never see one of those upside down
