I'd recommend the 22.0/8.0-13, saving 2 lbs per wheel plus they'll give an overall shorter gear ratio for NA. Personally, I'd sell those and get some 22s. With an awesome whp like that investing in good tires will definitely pay off.

Too much tire for your hp level. A 22x15 or a 23x15 would be ideal. You'll bog with the 24's.
