I daily on 300c wheels, and I rock the FD wheels at the track, that is until i get something lighter.

here is the answer to n/a fc drifting 195/55/15s with 90psi in the rear. end of story otherwise you wont be doing any 3rd gear on big banks with smart guys that arent ******* idiots and have enough power to play the game, i have been driving na all this season its retarded as **** if you want to win
But thanks for the advice. Do you run 15s all around or just in the rear?

I had to run a 20mm spacer in the front because the offset on fd wheels are like +50. it wontfit without the spacer, it will rub on the coilover.
For the rear it will rub ur exhasut shields, I removed my exhaust shields, and ran a 25mm spacer in the back , bought the spacer soff ebay for about $50 a pair.
on the front stock fenders theres a lip sticking out on the inside, Its good to bend ur inner front fenders flat with a hammer so it wont rub when u swang. and for the rear u can roll it with a bat and heat gun ..thats what I did....Fd wheels make good drift spares and they are really cheap, ppl sell em for $200 sometimes maybe with tires..
My car 2 years ago... t2, viscous lsd, fd wheels, ait aero. paint job done on my driveway...

Ya you need I think it was 20mm spacers but I could be wrong. I didn't like the feel of my 300c wheels in the front and the smaller ones in the back, then again they were heavy wheels and the car didnt respond well.

noo dont use SLIP on spacers!!! ur guna snap or strip ur studs drifting loll
use Adapter spacers or, something like this.. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/25mm-...spagenameZWDVW
theres lots of brands to choose from, honestly dont buy the CHEAPest $40 spacers, thats what I bought b4 and I snapped studs so many times, get $100 ones. I have a pair of TCsport lines and they lasted me for long time. Itwas $100 for a pair..

when i was first starting out i was using 17's all around, and for some reason just couldn't hold drifts. with some more experienced help we figured it was just the bone stock n/a motor could spin the 17's. bought some vert wheels for $200 w/ new *** tires and did work (see signature)
i would recommend keeping the 17's up front though, the day i was running all verts around i was scrubbing really bad on brand new front tires.

too much rear tire grip, combined with probably a less than perfect clutch and lsd. i run 17x9's in the front and vert wheels in the rear, and can break 2nd gear loose relatively easy- a LOT easier than the 17's

lol, sure they will. just dont use 400mm worth of slip on.
i ran a 25mm bolt on in the back and 10mm slip on in the front.
oh and IMO if you going to actually spend money on wheels, FD wheels are a retarded choice. they dont look that great and by the time you buy the spacers and the wheels you could have just bought some decent wheels with the right offsets. (FNO1R-C, sportmax, etc)

EDIT: I was looking at wheels by Buddy Club, they seem pretty light. Think 17s would be good for an n/a FC.

well what are you lookng for?
wheels are pretty easy to find and cheap here.
i run 215s on a 9" rim. So, to me, anything less is a waste of time for the rears.
32 or 33 GT-R? there pretty cheap if you dont care what they look like
2 32 rims

Im sure 215s or205s stretched in the rear will wheelspin fine with NA. Use nexens lol they dont grip at all and they are cheap hard compound tires that last!!!Find cheap tires that dont grip.. And pump the tires with more pressure, one of my friends even ran 80 psi on the rear tires on his drift car and was able to wheel spin ez with low hp. Im not sure, never tried this setup with NA, but Im sure it works. maybe give it a try? just add more tire pressure...I know thats what most 240 guys do because they only have astock KA with wide 17s...
