Default WRC S5 replica from P1 - suspension

Hi guys.

I intend to do a conversion from a P1 for a gravel rally build. I'm looking for the wider rear panels but was wondering what custom parts I'll need to stick out the wheels wider to the new width of the wider panels.

Do I need custom arms, driveshafts (I'm guessing longer ones?) custom sway bars, suspension or subframes?

Any help is appreciated...

Hi
I have a S5 WRC car and everything is different from a standard car , my wheels have an ET of 5 I think.
Road cars I have seen that have the S5 body kit fitted have wheel spacers fitted to fill the arches .
Cheers Ian

Not sure where that came from but it's wrong, 22b wheels are 17x8.5 ET48. They use custom rear disks with a spacer built in. Front is standard sti 4.

Absolutely correct...
I'm getting mixed up with the wrc cars that used 18 x 8 speedline or OZ wheels with et14 offset

You could use some et35 offset wheels to fill the arches a bit but will prob tramline when driving
