plus the 18s are for show as i dont have that much cash for tyres while drifting. Will be drifting on the 15-16 and 17 inch wheels i have. As for the arms on and car most of the suspensions been upgraded with drift spec stuff removing bushes and so on with solid stuff. Most EDC drivers run the cars on 18s but they have sponsors to pay for there tyres

The reason drifters get away with using bigger wheels is that you can usually get very low profiles(40 or less) on the bigger tyres which will give a strong side wall without much flex-so no need for small rims... yep. Well just got in old diffs off ran out of light though so havnt put the other one on will go on friday. Also got myself a transit fan which i will be fitting should keep the heat down.

Ah right, drifting. The steering setup is a right mess when you have a look at lowered and massive wheels, the geometry is bollocks. I suppose it's different for what you are doing though,.
