hello, Im about to buy some 16's for my drift 240 but i can get 17s for the same price. i know that 17s look alot better but what is better for drifting? im gonna use used tires, correct me if im wrong but used 16in tires seem rarer than 17s. therefor i can get 17 inch tires cheeper because i can find more used ones. any help is greatly appraciated, thanks!

if you can find the tires theres no good reason not to run 17s

Yeah, you will definately be ok.

Or you could run 17s up front and 16s in the rear like some people do when practicing, so you get better steering up front and lighter wheels with cheaper tires in the rear.
