Default Wheel Sizes

I have a question about wheel sizes and the effect it will have on drifting. Curently I have a 17x7 wheel up fornt and a 17x8 wheel in the rear. If I decide to use some s13 SE wheels on the rear and keep the 17x7s up front, will I encounter any negative effects?

Are you planning to drive at D1? If not, why worry? its just tires that you going to end up tearing all apart.

I run 17's in the front and 15's in the rear, no Ill effects that I can tell besides the fact that it looks a bit akward.

just get used tires for the 17's. in my opinion the 17's fell beter sliding cause the sidewall doesn't flex as much but 17 front and 15 rear is fine
