techniclly it harder due to the taller rim/tire thus changing the final drive ratio.

As for doing burnouts... when i had my stock rims i did it ONCE, figured i'd give it a try, after a few sec i was thinking hmm... nothing, UNTIL~ i looked in the rearview mirror and seen ALL THE SMOKE very very easy

Fallacious. Depends on the outer diameter of the tire. However, most aftermarket 19's I see around her are going to be heavier than the stockers. The increased mass around the hub would make it harder. I highly doubt you'll notice a difference.

What about doing them with the f-sport rims, which are lighter? will it be easier?

You have a 350. Don't worry about it. You could put chrome cast 50 lb 24's on dat hoe and she'd still spin 'em up.

Llama and I were speaking in hypotheticals. And really just screwing around.

Lighter wheel & tire is easier to start spinning.

Heavier wheel & tire is harder to stop spinning once it starts spinning, just like a flywheel the heavier it is the more inertia it has to keep spinning.

On the auto you have to power brake it. I only tried it twice. But it made me feel better that I wasnt driving a Scion barely....

Should have purchased the 350

I did donuts all the time when I had my car in stock. I even tried a few drifts on wide 4 lane roads when there are barely any cars, but I ended up calling the insurance company for some money afterwards. Never really drifted after that, and told myself that I would first mod my car before I try it again (suspension at the least)
