different rims

i saw quiet a few drifting guys having different front rims than the rear ones. The size looks lil bit different but i'm not sure. What are some reasons behind this?

thx

Different size wheels or different wheels in general?

Different wheels in genera; (make and model) is usually because they are so broke from smashing the **** outta their car they can only afford big fat rears and then buy crap wheels for the front lol

Helps with traction/lack of

i was talking about different make and model. What do you mean by big fat rears? - like big fat tires with smaller rims than front?

Wider, like old drag cars use to have. Like a 12" wide wheel with a 350 series tire. (Not suitable for drifting though)

i thought wide rear tires are very suitable for drifting because more tires are contacted to the ground than the narrow ones which give you more traction..
