My SC300 is undergoing a major overhaul after a nasty fender-bender (local drivers and rain do not mix well, apparently). Two of the semi-decent aftermarket wheels I had on the car were bent beyond repair after kissing the curb (it could've been much worse). So, no better time to upgrade my rolling gear. I've sourced the perfect set of wheels, for which I'm now saving... no details, someone else might go after them. Anywho, I'm going to do things the smart way this time and upgrade my suspension and whatnot before getting carried away in the power department. The new wheels will fit nicely over MKIV Supra TT brakes, and I can move my old front calipers to the back.
Eventually I plan on using this car as my drift sled. I had gotten somewhat decent at it (emphasis on the somewhat) before circumstances forced me to quit, and now that my situation has improved I can once again pursue such occupations. I am well aware that one should have a second set of wheels to put on (at least on the rear) for drift, and I've put out a want ad for a cheap set... but if I could just use the two I have remaining, that would save me a lot of money and headache. Problem is, they're smaller than what will be up front. Is anyone aware of any significant problems that might be caused by having a track setup of something along the lines of 19f/17r? I know it would effect the spedometer, but that's not really an issue on-track anyway. [Remember children, we at DRIFTING.com do not in any way endorse illegal street racing... my lawyer made me say that.]
