Sorry for the Hi-jack!

That is NOT rice, for the record. The Euro crowd has been doing it for YEARS. Go look at the VWVortex archives if you don't believe me, but please don't go around calling it rice when it is nothing of the sort. And a lot of people who are very good drifters will tell you that it allows for much smoother breakaways and transitions.

If you want smaller tires so you can have less grip, just get smaller wheels.

That just doesn't look safe to me. The way I drive (i take long corners aggressively all the time) and the way the roads are in NJ. Heres my Z.. 18 X 10 +20 in the rear. 18 X 9 +18 in the front. I want to get a 10mm spacer for the front affectively making it 18 X 9 +8 and a 5mm spacer in the rear, making it 18 X 10 + 10. Currently I have 245/40/18 in the front and 275/40/18 in the rear. Next time I get tires, I plan on doing 265/35/18 in the front with 285/35/18 in the rear.
