LOL I'd have to borrow someone's 17's for a drift event. No way am I going to try it with stock 18s, since tires would be much more expensive too =\

I think I'd be too chicken to try drifting, I'd be scared as hell of fking up my car.

Unless I got a really good tutorial... but as it stands I know jack shyte about how to drift other than what I learned on an Xbox controller.

If I end up going I think I should buy a different set of rim/tires. I just stuffed a set of 20" S03 Pole positions under my Z.

You should try the patented 'Zee-Bracket' and fill in the holes in your bumper.

also how do the falkens handle and grip compared to the so3's? what size/model falken? and you have 275/30/20 so3's right?

I have done a lot of research in this category and have found that the best high performance tires overall are 1. michelin pilot ps2 2. bridgestone so3 PP 3. Goodyear GSD3 F1. but dunlop has come out with a new tire direzza dz101 that I haven't heard much about plus they don't make it in my size. let me know if you have heard anything about it or if it's the one your talking about.
