i forgot to mention...when you make over 300+whp (NOT CRANK HP, WHEEL HP) in an S13, it just becomes flat out dangerous and hard to control! i ran 18x9.5s with Federal 595 235/40/R18s on my last coupe in the rear...all i did was burn tire until 4th gear at full throttle (or mid 3rd if i let off then jumped on it again).
before upping your power, you REALLY need to think about what youre going to do to get that power to the ground. wheel fitment is probably the dumbest idea if you want to make good power and get it to the ground (look how many top 15 FD cars are "hellaflush" cause you wont find many). sure spinning tires is great for drifting, but you NEED grip when in drifting when you start making larger amounts of power (you also NEED coilovers that allow your rear end to squat as well, majorly important)
my current 240 im building for easy street driving + occasional track use, so my biggest plan for the car (outside of restoring it interior/exterior wise) is how to get all the power i make to the ground instead of just burning tires like my last car. it was nice making all that power and what not, but it sucked when i wanted to play the drag race game with bigger and more expensive cars. they would pull me off the line pretty hard and i would have to play catch up. when my car FINALLY decided to grip, it would pull like there was no tomorrow, but because i couldnt get all of my power to the ground without losing traction, it was pretty much useless.
