Default is300 2002 drifting wheel fitment

Hello everyone I am a new is300 owner and I would like to know if anyone can plz help me with my wheel fitments: size, offset, spacers etc. I just got a 2002 is300 5sp manuel trans, I bought it with the intentions of making it my first project car. I want to make it a good drift car so Im looking to take my time and do things right and not rush. I know want to stagger my rims but Im not sure what would be the best wheel fitments for drifting. Can someone please help me out and tell me what would be best wheel fitments for a 2002 is300 drift car?

if youre stock you can drift with the stock wheels.

if youre shopping for wheels, what i suggest you do it look around and read a lot of what others have done. understand there is some give and take. if you want something thats "hella flush" it may take giving up some tire width and maybe take some body work like cutting, rolling, pulling of fenders.

Kool thanx, I have been looking around but I'm having a little trouble trying to find out what would be the best fitment for drifting. I don't care if I have to do body work becuz I want to get fender flares to widen the body a little bit. Right now I have stock but they are no good I was told that I have three rims and tires that I need to replace and I thought, hey might as well just get some nice aftermarket rims and make the car look better. But since I want to eventually drift with it I want to get the best rims for drifting now so I don't end up buying rims again later on in the future.

Default 18s for 220d?

Hi, I'm looking at upgrading my alloys from the standard 17s to some 18s. I'm looking at some 18" x 8, ET35, 114 fit 8j, would these be ok? what tyres would you put on them?
