id run the 24x8x13 instead of an 24x8x14,more sidewall is easier on the drivetrain,if it clears whatever brake rotors your using.

Is there any slick worth having that will fit of a 15" wheel? Or would drag radials be best for that size of wheel?

13"s are easier to turn that 15"s. You woudl only need 15" wheels and slicks if you were producing 500+ whp!

Someday I would like to get slicks but I won't beable to fit any wheel smaller than 15". Would it be better to get a drag radial instead of a slick?

I have the fastbrake setup on my hatch so I cannot fit anything smaller than a 15" wheel. I will be running 22-8-15 MT's next week when the track opens. I only make 264whp right now but will be making 325-350whp in 3 weeks when I get my hondata installed. Will the 22's hook any good or will I have to raise my car up and run 24.5" slicks?
