Well this is what I run, 16x7.5fr 16x8.5rr I run either 205/50-16's all the way around on the street or 205/50/16's front and 225/45/16's rear for the track. I tried running 205's all the way around at the last drift event and hated it. I like lots of throttle and higher speeds so the 205's didnt have enough grip and would spin alot the best setup I had for that day ended up being 225 michelin pilot sports on the back so they had massive grip but where so easy to control during drift with lots of throttle. Now on the street and canyon driving I have plenty of grip with the 205's all the way around and right now I am running 350z stock wheels with 225/45/17 pilot sports and the car is very well balanced. I think I prefer a staggered setup but the extra tire up front really helps with hard braking on the street on the track I have plenty of braking power since there are no real panic stops. to sum it all up for drifting and autox/circuit I prefer 205/225 staggered setup for the street I like the 225/225 setup. My friend runs 225/245 on stock ka and he likes it but I dont its too much tire I like to be able to slide the car I drive quicker that way with small angle slides on corner exit. Also with the kaaz the car has sooo much more grip than with the vlsd making even 205's grip really well in higher speed corners. My setup is kei office xr's, battle version tension rods/ruca's, stock se sways and a kaaz 2way. I love the way my car handels if is very predictable and super fun at the edge. Also have z brakes so the extra tire helds to avoid abs engagement or lock up when I pull the fuse.
