When choosing wheels and tire combos is it better to go over or below stock wheel and tire diameter for drift?

TWO TWENTY TWOS.

TWO TWENTY TWOS.




Buy the biggest, coolest ******* wheels you can afford, make them fit. Run tires with GRIP, not some shitty *** 460aaa refined dinosaur bone **** because they were $5 out of the dumpster at discount tire.

This. I've seen the same happen with XXRs as well, and I'll plug those since they're Taiwanese I believe.

i like the deep dish on The d force and the offset is perfect but the spokes are not that good looking. Who else make a nice deep dish or deep lip rim?

You could get some bmw wheels and run adapter spacers?


My new years resolution is to stop giving a **** about running china turbos and fake wheels. Just focus on driving and kicking *** and not giving a **** if the car gets totalled or burns to the ground on-track. Anyone else with me on this?

Just look around. There are a bunch. Mercedes is also something to look into. They've got some that look like weds farmas but without a huge lip. I think they'd look pretty cool on a seven with spacers. Especially an FD.
