Default which tires?

i need some help choosing some new tires. im going to be mounting these are 14" civic hx wheels. i believe the width is 5.5", but im not sure.

i went to the track for the first time a week or 2 ago and had a blast, ran 13.52 @ 103 w/ a 2.0 60' with 205 50 15 azenis. im wanting to drop my 60' down maybe .15-.2 sec and im hoping switching wheels/ tires will help me do that. i was looking into bfg drag radials but im thinking the 205 50 14 will be too small (22" over all dia.). and the 215 60 14 might be too wide for my wheels :/ im just having a hard time finding some good tires that will fit those wheels, so im asking for help =p

specs on car:
92 hatch
jdm h22a 193whp/150wtq

I was just wondering how you were planning to clear the big boy brakes...

If you really want to shave some time, get slicks. Night and day difference, your car will actually feel like a hot rod out of the holeshot.

you need to find a bigger set of wheels than 14x5.5 so you can get a bigger tire under the car..Id go with the bfg's or m&h drag radials...

exospeedAMcrx @ exospeed recommended me 22x8x13 slicks, so if i can find some used slicks in that size i should able to afford some diamond wheels to go with them haha... unless somebody has some used ones they would like to sell me
