going to 16's - Drifting forum

drift_johnathan · 09-07-2008, 16:33

Ive been thinking of going for 16’s on my car. Mainly due to tyres for drifting. But nice looking ones rather than standard. Ive driving couple days with standard ones, and it never grips, is a lot of fun. But unsure wether to keep my 235 17’s or drop to the 16’s 205. also a lot easier to drift and as im still learning reckon it be better?
Anyone got pics of 16’s on a lowered R32 skyline, just to see if they look lost in the archs?

cheers

Any excuse for a picture

your problem isn't the wheel size though mate, its either the tyre pressure, suspension setup, or driving

oh i know, the 235 are fine, but just a hell of alot easier to break traction with 205's.
tho we shall see. got my 17's back, so will prob have them back on lol

Up the pressure if you are having problems breaking traction. 235s are wider than I use on my standardish gts-t but if you just put a sh*t load of pressure in say 50psi it should do the job.
