Making some upgrades and I need some help

I traditionally drive bigger vehicles, so I drive a little more aggressively and drive in most terrains. I've done my research so I know I cant find any springs or shocks to give my car more clearance (not even coil overs) so what are some really good reliable stock sized springs that can last me a while and give me the right suspension I need

I also know that I have to be able to find a rim that can fit my civic that can fit rally tires. I know I have the clearance so why not get some tired with some tread.

Any suggestions on where I can find any of this?

Re: Making some upgrades and I need some help

Coilovers will give you a slight bump up in height if you max the height on them out, but for stock height i'd suggest buying OEM RSX springs. They're identical to 7g civic springs except with a slightly higher spring rate. You can fit fairly wide tires without rubbing issues, up to 225 should be fine at stock height and if you go for 15 inch rims you'll have lots of room vertically to fit a good rally tire.
