i don't have any problems with 18 front & 16 back for drifting so far. the only problem is i need to keep changing the front between drifting & trackday... coz i can't afford to use the S03 for drifting so i'm getting another 6 spare wheels in 17" for drifting & trackday...also, a bit difficult to get hold of some used tyres in 18 as well. :(

Ive used that set up on the R33 and it works well because the car dosent seem to understeer as much with the lower profiles up front and the wheels stay spinning on the 16s on the rear :)

when I 1st started I used to use 19's on the front and 16's on the rear, it makes the car handle terribly, but in an oversteery way, so probably okay for learners..

nice 1 phil how did she handle on the straights cause im going to my 1st trackday on monday and dont want to end up in a wall at 140.lol
:thumbs:
I dont think it would be advisable for a trackday. Like Phil says it will make the car oversteer more - which is why Im planning on running GTR33 front and std 16s rear at D1 next time...;)

won't make a difference if it doesn't go sideways :p :p :p :D :D
It was driver error mate. The car does go sideways easily, its just fcuking daunting at 70mph!!! The lower speed stuff Im happy kickin it out;)
