Good for you for thinking outside the box. 315's will be fine but i hope you have everything else first. You still need a fully built rear end, suspension and chassis mods to do it safely.
If you're just starting out get the cheap Sumitumos Since they are only about 85$ each.

Yes, you can drift an 03 cobra with 315's...
Have you ever "drifted" before, or are you talking about doing a burnout around a corner and having the rear step out a little bit. Because if that's what your planning just give me the keys before the poor thing ends up in a guard rail.
The tire size is not the first thing that comes to my mind when I think of drifting an 03 Cobra. The suspension needs a little work to keep everything totally under control.
Also. American Muscle is a reputable site, pretty much everyone on here has bought. I don't think I've heard any real complaints about them.

lol. go for it.
i call the motor and seats.
I've "drifted" in my car one time when it was raining and really dont wanna do it again. I'll stick to just getting her a tad sideways leaving an intersection

I just went to my first drift event and thought it was like bad *** autocrossing which i've done and become bored with. for sure I will go with the cheap tires but I have the Bullit rims 10.5 and don't want to f/u the IRS or break the rim. I think a little DETROIT sound would blow the Honda's mind..
