run some 22's with like a 20 aspect ratio tire....

seriously stick with the stockers and build ur suspension, then once you can afford better tires upgrade.....15inch tires r cheap and common anyways

i still use my steelies when i go to events

Yeah bro, seriously stick to 15's or 16's. I rock steelies to drift on and run 15 inch tires and I have no problem spinning them.

yeah dude, stick with 15's. then you can go with maybe a 195/50-60/15 on the rear. and maybe a 205... on the fronti have a stock ka-de motor as well. the tires work great on the track.unless you are going about 52 mph wheel speed in a drift (not car speed), the tires will be fine. (i say 52 cause 2nd gear maxes out about there)

i run 2nd gear wot on the track and sometimes 3rd, i can feel the front tires roll a little bit.

this is just my experience.

oh and if ur serious about drifting and not p-lot drifting then you will understand a little bit more about tire sizes. esspecially with a stock motor.
