Default 10" wide rims!!!!

Bought these last week with pirelli p6000, loads of grip and the car isnt as lethal in the wet anymore
Have 8" wide on the front aswell.
Ive also had it lowered, so handles better now and doesnt wallow round bends

Any good for drifting?

And some other pics of the car, not a ford im afraid lol

In the wet, easy, in the dry, hmm...

Probably still understeers in the dry, esp with 10" on the back.

Has it a LSD? If not, no chance. Even with a std one itd not be easy. Weld it up, oversteer everywhere then

Get some Adj TCAs or summat to give the front plenty of neg' camber and it will help give the front a lot more cornering grip too.

Cool car tho, id like a black/white/silver/dark blue one
