Coilover, Roll and Pull of the fenders. Slight frame modifications up front, Bending of e-brake cable bracket out back, and correct offset wheels. (18x9.5 et 38-40 ish, or 18x10 et40-44ish I think.)

How much power are you running?

What setup do you have now that you're exceeding the available grip you have in the corners?

great answer thank you.

@Summerwolf Has a good point. If you aren't pushing so much power that you NEED more than a 275, it will only slow you down.

Yep mostly previous Honda ricers that got into "drifting" after watching F&F Toyko Drift. And either killed a few 240's or couldn't find a Miata nor afford a S2K.

That's my guess.

yeah my current setup definitely does not support that wide of a tire. more of theoretical question for the future you know.
