Im actually having more fun with the wider wheels and stickier tires, but Im not really into drifting.

With the stock setup I could chirp second gear, with these tires, it wont. I've kicked the back out a few times intentionally with the new wheels when it was wet out, and it was much more predictable then the stock tires IMO.

If I were you and really wanted to use the car for drifting, just use the stock wheels and tires to learn and go from there. They are very easy to break loose.
