look into the 24.5x8.5x15 from M&H.

you can get them from MandHtires.com

That would be the proper size for the amount of HP you are making.

Just one question, why using 15" rim instead of a 13" rim

If you can use a 13" the 24.5x8.5x13 slick from M&H will hook up better since it has a taller side wall than a 15" rim More Bite for better hook up.

It depends more on the Slick itself. Each manufacturer will have a specification on what rim size each slick should go with.

Like most 13x8 will use a 7.5-8" rim. while a 9" wide slick will use an 8" wide as well. So you just have to check with what is recommended for that slick.
