Default i need some help picking my drag radials..

im gonna go with the bfg's on some integra alloys (14 in) that i have laying around. what size do you guys think would be the ideal size to go with on a 14? im in a ls turbo hatch prob making about 230 to the wheels and i dont wanna get something thats overkill but im afraid to get something that isnt wide enough either. thanks guys

yeah. good call. i bought it from Tim from youngstown. it was in the autotrader for 13. bought it for 10,500. I'd never have the money to turbo my gs-r and when i checked out this LS the dude didnt cut any corners on the engine. and the body is fresh paintjob. But yeah.. you gonna race up zele next week or goin up to watch?

The 215/60/14's hooked and 60'ed better than 225/50/15's for me, but you're probably right, avoid the 14's at all cost.

205/50/14's would work on stock alloy's. 215/60's might be doable. 225/45's would be pushing it especially with only 10-12psi in them.
