    When drifting a 350z can you run 20” rims in the front and 18” rims in the rear?

    Yes but watch out for the fitment police!

    Lol. So I have 20s with Toyo proxy’s t1r on the front and I wanted to keep those up there and have 2 sets of spares by buying a set of stock rims for burners. Will there be any negatives to running that setup

    20s?! On a 350?! Need pics of this!

    No real adverse effects of this, if you are keeping the same rolling diameter there would need to be a pretty chunky sidewall on the 18 which will probably give it a rolly feeling.

    A lot of people here go down an inch and it doesn't look too bad, 2 inches might just look terrible.
    Can you not get decent 18s all round? :p

    You'll probably find the 18S have more grip than the 20s

    I bought it with 20s on it and not really looking to spend s bunch of money on rims. I would rather it look whacky and get seat time than it look pretty and have to watch from the crowd also I added a pic

    Because very low profile tyres don't have any sidewall movement which doesn't allow the tyre to dig in as much. Assuming they are the same width.
