as long as the front and rears are not diff sizes have fun.. but you will still chew up the fronts by sliding around..

Evos can be drifted (4 wheel drift to be precise) as shown in this video of the JUN super lemon evo 6 drift car.

yes as long as all the tires are the same profile it will be fine! Just watch out on the regular evo because they have open diff and get inlift extremely bad and chew up the one front tire! If you have a RS or MR you will be fine!

Glad you're using your car and not mine. Don't think doing anything on spare tires is very safe.

You can do it, sure, but don't expect the drivetrain to last very long. The only way you won't damage anything by repeated drifting attempts is to do it on a slippery surface.
