Default slicks question

well, i have some 13x8 weld magnums...sitting on 24.5x8x13 MT's.



I have a 96 itr swap...that dynoed 191/132.4 BEFORE my cam install....so i'm eaisly over 200whp now...with possibly...135-138 tq....

are these slicks overkill? if not..what psi should I run?

i'm just not wanting ot kill some axles and what not...


aslo, i have some 22/8/15 MT's on enkei RPO1's



would these be better suited for my car right now?
and if so...what PSI should i run them at??


my clutch is MORE than enough to handle them.

what tranny are you using? For 24's on a N/A motor i would recommend at least a 4.7 final drive.

its possible to push the 24's but is a bit overkill for your HP and Tq setup. I'd choose a 22" or a 23" before going up to a 24"
24s is something you'd use at mid 200s and up.

Hey I have a boosted ls in the making and have a set of 24.5x9x13's and its going onto my 91 crx, i was wondering what offset rims to use, what offset are your weld rims, and btw 24.5's arent too much overkill, i ran 22x8x13's last year on a mini-me d-series and had no prob warming them up, took almost 1 second off my time.

it's the distnace from the hub to the inner lip? or the outer lip?

Hub to inner lip. That's the backspace though. Take the backspace and minus 4". You'll get the offset.

The 22's will be better on your axles for sure.

that's not necessarily true...

i mean, the 24's wouldn't wheel hop....even if i tried

the 22's do sometimes.


i mean, if I could just lauch good...i think that i could spin the 24's a little off the line....

You traded an itr tranny for a set of welds? The itr had a oem lsd already, you would benefit more from the itr tranny and smaller slicks than a stock diff and larger slicks.
