Default What size slicks?

I have a turbo charged b16a in a 95 civic hatch. I am making 345whp/230tq. I am wondering what size slicks I should use. I dont know if I should be using 23 or 24.5 in tall slicks. Your help is appreciated.

Thanks

pm slicksmh, thats john from m and h and he will be able to tell you. i would think that 23's should do you, but 24.5's may not be detremental either.

will running a 22x8x13 be ok for the time being. How much difference would I see using a larger slick. Thanks for your help guys.

i experienced a 320whp b16 with 24.5s and ended the quarter just shifting into 4th which was 109 mph. 23" would be better from my experience. 24.5s made the gear ratio too long.

24.5's with my b16 tranny were a perfect fit, i was taking it to 8500rpm, and going through the trap in fourth gear at about 8350.
thats why i said taht

i dont know maybe the extra 40-50 whp made that difference with your run. i didnt think it would make that much of a difference
