Now I know not all of you really like drifting too much...but what would a good wheel width for drifting. I want to get 17" wheels (I know the smaller diameter the better but i want my car to look good too) but i'm not sure what wheel width is the best. I assume that the skinnier the tire the better. (less contact patch less grip) but I just want to see what all you guys think.

I was thinking 7" wide

Thanks!
