i have a 2004 rsx type s with roughly 202whp and 150lbs of tq and im debating on going with either 22x8x15" slicks or 23.5x8.15" slicks now i know that the 22x8's will give me the feel of a higher fd but am i going too small?

Hi logistixz: 8.5/23-15 M&H

John@M&H

 

Using the 23 8 13 on k20a2. So far awesome results.

 

on my watercooled vw(190whp/155tq) i'm running M&H 23x8x13s...
Brand new slicks.. hit a 2.0...1.9...then a 1.8 60ft.....only 3runs...i was impressed and can't wait for the next time I run for a better 60ft.
Far as the 22x15's forget it....too much tire spin...i tried those and now they're just taking up space in my garage.
ps....John.......your slicks rock!!!!

 

good information, now another question i have is right now im running hoosier drag radials on my stock rsx wheel (225/50/16) and i cut 2.0 60ft's and run 13.72's at 102 will running this new setup cut a significant amount of time off my et? or am i only looking at about 2 tenths possibly and bringing it to mid 13's?

 

the rule of thumb is that for every tenth you knock off the 60ft you gain 2tenths off your final et. So assuming you nail a 1.8 60ft....you most likely will run 4tenths faster.
Seems to be on target too...
ie:
i ran a 14.3 on a 2.0 60ft
then a 14.1xx on a 1.9 60ft...
then finally a 13.98 on a 1.8 60ft..
speeds didnt realy change tho. only a 1mph increase.

 

thanks a lot man good info,
