Maybe for exhibition and recreational drifting but not for competition. You still need width for speed, especially in a car as large as the SC. You might as well pull those fenders as far as humanly possible cause you'll be needing 12's with a minimum 275 if you plan to keep up unless you put that thing on a serious diet. Even Ueno's old Soarer couldn't keep up with 10's.
