I need helping to get the proper tire and rim size for drifiting. Oh and the offset. Also does anyone know a good not so expensive brand to get rims and tires?

Id probably have to say its due to the 205/40/17s. There was also a tab on the front of the inner fender I had to hammer alittle too.

make friends with someone at a car dealership. I have friends that get free tires. I much rather go with new fresh tires that will usually last alittle longer haha
