Default Drag Radial help

I know this has been a post about 100 times but, i was curious to what BFG drag radial would best suit my setup. I havent been able to find a real clear response.

245 whp 185 tq supercharged 2000 integra gsr mild weight reduction no lsd

205/50/14 smallest contact patch 2nd/smallest side wall

215/60/14 2nd largest contact patch/largest sidewall

225/45/14 largest contact patch/smallest sidewall

between 13 - 16 psi cold pressure?
I was leaning toward the 215's

thanks for the help

Contact patch is dependent upon tire pressure and the weight resting on that tire, not tire size. Having a wider tire would only change the shape of the contact patch. I'd get the one with the most sidewall.
