Default what slicks size for 9's??

what slick size are you guys using?

I have a ek hatch civic with fully built h22 with a PTE 67 turbo.
want to make around 700 WHP and run low 10 to high 9's

I see most of the people are running 13" slicks
is the 13" better then 15"?

can someone explain me why?

You'll go quicker on a 26"x 10" on a 15" wheel, but you'll also break more parts (axles, trans. parts, etc.).

I'm not building it for a specificaly class.
It's only my pride and joy.
I want it to run a good time and that's it.

a 24.5/8/13 sidewall is more then a 24.5/8/15 side wall?

You have 8.5/24.5-13 - 8.7-25-13 and the bad boy 8.5/26-13 XT. So sidewalls just get BIGGER and BIGGER and BIGGER.
