Not sucha a bad idea on a vit. They are pretty wide and stable so the gain in COG doesn't hurt as much as a sierra. But you won't need more than 50mm suspension lift in the future (when you get one ) because the BL will have already made room for your tyres.

On a coily? They are removable, so you could always pull it out later.
There are better ways to get clearance, but none are as easy or as cheap as a body lift.
