there is no reason you should do this. i don't even know what kind of steel tires you are going to find. your best bet would be get a set of oem 16"s with S02"s. i have had my best drifiting on those tires. you don't want something hard and very easy to break out. because then you just spin out. maybe a cheap set to get the idea of breaking the rear our controlled wise. but once you get kicking it out down you want something stickier

Don't do it. I've tried drifting with 18's on the front and 16's on the rear. The car didn't seem to like this set up. It wanted to push really bad on turn in. Probably because of the softer sidewall on the 16" tire (50 series) compared to the 18" tire (40 series).

Besides, it looked like crap. If you're going to drift, be a pimp and throw some 18's on there.

So if I get a 2 way limited slip diff, cusco RS2way, everything should be fine?

Do I still need to reinforce that diff, or cusco is made for hardcore racing.

I am not FI and I drift it still when it rains, however dirfiting when it rains is not really easy, when you pass the treshold counter steering does not help much since you have no grip on the rear and the front
