hey guys i know its not a mini truck forum but i wanted to know what would be a good tire size for drifting i have some 18x8 inch six spoke Nissan armadas i also want to give it the stretchy look to it but the smallest tire size is 205/35 but idk if that would be recommended for drifting

streched tires for look.... sigh....
trying to picture 205 35s on armada wheels on a d21 is making me extremely light headed and close to vomitting.
pretty sure they are the same wheels on my titan. just think about how that will look. at least do a 40 side wall. and something wide enough to give you traction while drifting 235 prob..

but the rims are 8 inch wide so 235's wont stretch i have 235's @ the moment and the tires rub on the inner wells soo i was thinking of going with something smaller and more sporty, bare with me ppl im new to the drift scene

Smaller and sporty? What is sporty about zero traction. If you are going to sacrifice performance for some retarded stretched tire look i feel bad for you. 235s are fine for that wheel. If its tire rubbing your worried about use wheel spaces like normal people.

ok ch or whoever you are i appreciate the help but i dont need your shit talking ok screw pride. i get youre experienced but like i said IM NEW TO THE SCENE....and besides spacers is going to look weird theyre going to stick out and hit the fenders on the outside, the tires hit the top of the inner wells not the inside...and besides building a drift truck is not as easy as it is for your 240 or your z because theres more variety in parts unlike for a truck almost everything has to be custom

Buy wheels that fit then? This is pretty simple stuff dude. Not trying to be a dick. Your putting 205s on a truck. Like i said traction is required for drifting. Welp. Have fun building a completely custom spin out machine.
