Hello,



I would like to share my situation in some hope that someone can help me figure out what to do with my car.

I have a 87 FC se with just about 100k on it running perfectly. Ive been drifting with the car compltely stock for about 4 months , not on a daily bases or anything but like 3 times a week or so. I live in Miami right now used to live in CA and my car has been sitting in a garage for about 6 months, I am planning and buying parts for my car to have a good drift set up soon when i move back, I had a post before regarding my suspension and it helped alot , i came to the conclusion of going with ground control, and kyb agx shocks, then adding sway bars, all new bushings , and the front and rear strut bars. Now im just trying to figure what i will do with tires and wheels, because i know tires and wheels size and offset have a good amount to do with drifting and any type of racing. I need help with figuring out what a good set up would be 15 inch 14inch wheels in the back in the front, and how much off set would be better in the front then in the back and so on. If anyone can help me out with any info it would be great , thanks,

Just grab an old set of stock N/A wheels. They are plentiful, fit the car well, and will be cheap to purchase and replace when you damage them.
