If you want a moderate slam 19" is good size without heavy modification (that's what I have)
If you want a crazy slam get 18"

with 10s in the rear your gonna have to roll your quarters. and as far as a drop you wont be able to drop it much because of the width.

Gonna have to pull the fronts out a lot too.
I have 19x8.5 on the front and I still rub around some corners if I'm going too fast.

LoLz, I shouldn't have gotten that 240, now i'm all about drifting
It feels weird driving the IS300 after driving around in the 240 every day for a couple months.
