Square All-Seasons and 1-1.5” Lift?

[vagabond]

We picked up a CT-5 Blackwing recently. It’s great so far.

Bear with me here.. I’d like it 1-1.5” higher.

I’m in the PNW. Winter performance is less a need (rarely sub-40). It’s more year-long rain and square-bump reliability we’re looking for (parking curbs, dropping or driving onto non-ramped sidewalks) - prevention of a blown tire.

So!

1) Are there 1-1.5” lift springs already available?
2) Considering the lift, are there wheel and tire setups that would work well for this? Preferably the same size all around? I’m considering run-flats and/or use of spacers if the durability’s there.

LMK thoughts.

EDIT: I got confused about CT4BW vs. CT5BW 18” options. Looks like it has to be 19”+ for CCB CT5BW. Thanks A Blackwing

18s won’t fit over the brakes.

You considering something like this ?

That’s pretty sweet and I admire all car culture, but no, more subtle.

My worst-case is me needing to get out of a situation, popping a tire if a curb’s hopped etc., and having the car on wheel only. So whatever might help there.

It's sounding like 20” run-flats are it. 0.5-1” lift springs would be nice along with though.

Is that Infrared or Radiant Red?

I'm Seattle area. Have had my 5BW since Nov '21, so two full winters. It's my daily (relatively speaking, I commute 3 days a week and use the XT5 for everything else) and gets driven pretty much whatever the weather is.

For whatever reason, I've had considerably less issues in this than I did in my Chevy SS. No curbing the wheels, almost no bottoming out, etc...

Give it some time. I'd say I needed to drive mine for a good few (rainy and slushy) months to get super comfortable with it.
