Default ITR and Race Slicks...how do you get them to fit???

OK you gurus... I got a set Hoosier Race Slicks (23x8.5x15). What type of offset is needed for the wheel? Can you get away with bigger spacers and longer studs?
Trying to figure this out...

EXTRA QUESTION:
Question 2: how much PSI do you start with these tires? What is the optimal temperature? Would the 9.5" be better? Thanks again.

well .....they will most likely rub on the rear with 15mm spacers and a 42mm offset with longer wheel studs. Try 25mm spacers and 42mm wheel....no rub then, but you will have to use a bolt on spacer. Or go with a 35mm offset wheel and 15mm spacers...should be no rub then also.

I saw an Integra running 235s in HTCC, not sure which car but it runs in USTCC. It had on spacers that looked like one inch or bigger. I currently run 225 on a 7.5 wheel with +43offset on my ITR, I have to use 5mm spacers and longer studs (otherwise I only get 5 turns on the lug nut) so it does not rub.
