Put your front tires on the back rims so they 'stretch'.
Then get high grip fron tires.
The stretch eliminates sidewall flex and makes the rear end more snappy.
So instead of buying tires for the back to just burn up, use the fronts you already have and buy new front tires that will last you.

NIce topic. I would want to know where i could get rims for my Z to go drifting and do you guess think that useing 2 donuts in the rear is safe? (By useing the term dountnut I mean rims that come on economy cars.)
