    yes thats what i ment, you tend to have larger side walls unless you run commo tyre on your 15's

    i perfure this feeling, not a baggy tyre but something that dosent snap like low profile 15's

    i run 14's for pure drift... you cant be cheap. gotta get quality tyres with stiff sidewalls.

    I've always run 15's on the 4 AE86's I've owned over the last 8 years or so. 205/50/R15's usually,as that size is an exact match for the std rolling diameter of the stock 13's.

    performance has already been mentioned,and this is the main reason I run 15's. how progressive breakaway is,depends as much on the tyre model you're running as the size itself,and how much 'stretch' you're running. it will vary from tyre to tyre,and car to car dependant on your suspension setup.

    you can still fit pretty wide and outboard offset wheels in under std guards. hell,I got a 17x9" +20 with a 255/40/R17 under std rear guards!
