Also a welded diff isnt so easy, if the front isnt gripping up correctly its going to be "pushing" the car forward and not always in the best directions.. Nothing against them but you maybe just need to change a few things.
Why dont you borrow a mates basic rims maybe something like 18x9+20 for the rear try straighten up the camber to like -1 or -0.5, the 215 would be ok but if you can knock it up a bit and bring tyre pressure to about 34/36PSI.
For the fronts i would also ditch the 18x10, Sure they are awesome.. But with drift its good to learn the basics, enjoy the car, Level up with your skill.. Id go with a 18x9 and run the same 215 tyre so its not having to stretch beyond belief or even a 225, Camber is good, Caster is good, What about Toe? Aslong as that is factory levels you should be fine there also.
Thats my recommendations, sure your car wont be 'Hellaflush' but its drift, and from what youve said it seems like your still learning  |
to be honest, if you were going to switch to a 18x9 just to learn drifting, you might as well pick up some stockies and learn to slide like that. Once you get it down packed...moving to a bigger wheel will just be a little harder.

well in that case, I have some serious questions to Dai's braking system. lol. we were watching him slow down at long beach, his fronts would lock up, rears were still spinning no problem, then he would get on the gas and blamo...take off. Some of the fab guys I know are wondering if he's running a shut off system to the rear brakes (maybe a spring related valving).
