If you plan to do this type of upgrade I would suggest first swapping in the rear axle and front hubs from a 900. This gives the slightly wider track in the rear and hubs without protruding axle nuts in front. For greatest choices in wheels the '88 and later with the later bolt pattern would be my choice, but will require the conversion of the handbrake from front to rear. I believe you can go with 16 x 7-7.5 wheels with no problem. I have seen 900's with 17 & 18 wheels.If you want to lower also your wheel choice will be limited by clearances. SAS has springs and sway bars for the 99. The rear axle swap with later arms will allow use of 900 shocks in the rear, but you will be limited by 99 spec shocks in front, and they are getting hard to find.
