FC wheel size finalization

Well, ive pretty much narrowed my wheels sizes down to 2 setups. Im planning to get either 17x7 w/ a 35mm offset in front with 17x8 in the rear with a 25mm or a 35mm offset. or 17x8's all around with a 25mm offset. Im going to be doing mostly drifting and some auto cross. Which setup should be best for what im going for? thanks -alex

Go 8's all around with the +25 - you need all the tire you can get up front to keep them from "washing" out during dori.

you might look into 16 wheels.... 7" up front running a 225 tire and 8" out back with a 265 tire.

for autox, the smaller wheels will be lighter (probably) and the potential is there to run a smaller diameter tire to get even better gearing, in essence more power to the ground. not to mention the 16"ers will be cheaper for wheels and for tires... you could then afford to step up to a better tire
