Default 22x8x14 slicks... do they exist?

I want to get some bigger slicks for next year, but I really dont want to shell out for the lenso's or other drag wheels. Previously I ran 20x6x14 m/t's... went high 11's on them, but I was in 5th through the traps. I've tried 24.5 before, but they are to tall for my d series gearing. Looking for 23 or 22 that have a decent sidewall. I know a 23x7.5x15 is availible, but is the side wall thick enough to absorb the shock and not snap axles? I searched for a 22x8x14 and some have seemed to use them before, but i can't find anyone actually selling them. I figure the only option is to run the 15's but wanting to make sure that is my best bet.

Setup is vitara/eagle d16z6 topmount and a 60 trim with about 20-25 psi.maybe ~350whp?

MT used to carry them but it looks like they discontinued them.
I would definately go with the 23x8x13 M&H tire for your set-up.

If you are trying to save money, find a stock 5",5.5" or a 6"x 15" wheel and go with the 7.5/23-15 slick.

I was in the same boat as you will the crappy D-series tranny ratio. I run a 22x8x15 and pull 1.6X 60fts on them, went the ET in my sig this year. But now, like you Im running through the trapps on the limter, I'm probaly going to try a 23X8.5X15 from MH next, I'm not making enough power for the 24.5's yet, or at least I think..
