Default ITR's on 15 inch wheels, running slicks question

Sup guys...I did a search and I got back like 20 pages of finds. I went thru 7 pages and didn't find the answer/help I need. Here's my deal:

I'm wanting to run slicks on my ITR. I still have the stock brakes and 5 lug. The car will be making in the 500whp range I'm hoping for on race gas. (Tony1's tuning the Neptune so shouldnt be too hard) Anyway soon I'm gonna go with smaller brakes so I can run smaller wheels with a taller slick and keep my 5 lug BUT for now, till I save up for all that mess (like $1,000 at least) I wanna run slicks on my 15 inch stock wheels which are 15 x 6. I'm running a JDM front on my car and I'm scared to get slicks that might rub or **** my fenders up or front bumper ect. I have adjustable coilovers so I can rasie the car if I needed too. What would be the best size slicks to run and not rub and get the best results with. I also went ahead and upgraded the Axles to the gator Stage 3's and I'm running a ACT 4 puck clutch with a stock pressure plate. Sorry so long and thanks for the help.

I ran 22"x8"x15" on my stock ITR wheels and the car had a JDM conv and fit just fine on stock suspension, the tires are kinda small if you plan on having that much power. You can also run like a 23.5x7.5x15 again, thats still kinda small. But I think thats what you were looking for as far as answers. I run 15" Bogarts with some 24.5"x8.5"x15" just lift the coilovers some and the fit, I ran a 11.3 with this setup and thats missing 4th gear.

Nope not the 24.5x8.5, they are too wide. I bought some Bogarts for those. Just had to raise it up some from the front. Only thing is that I cant make a sharp turn cause it looks like the tire might scrub the front bottom bumper (lip).

i picked up a set of Team Dynamics Pro-Race 1 in 15x7 with a 35mm offset. with that i'm able to run the 24.5x8.5x15in slicks with stock lugs as well as i didn't need to run any spacers.



the slicks are close to the fenders but don't really rub that much.

hey what up guys....thanks for all the help. I think Imma run some BFG's for the time being. Then I'm gonna get some K1's or Bogarts maybe and run a 24.5 by 8.5 on them. How's that sound? I could take the car out on the town on the BFG's if I wanted to lmao...
