when I was running 590whp the best I could muster on a 245 bf goodrich drag radial was a 1.95 spinning the hell out of frist/and 2nd yes I did a johnforce burnout and the tires were at 10 psi....
on that run I killed it at the 1/8th and coasted an 11.8 @ 120 because the soft top popped up on the drivers side (oops missed the latch lol)

lol everything was fine I hit 120mph and boom a huge gust of air hit me in the helmet I was like wtf, let off the gas and looked up it was messed up lol
I bet had I kept going it would have ripped the top off, on that run I was going against a mustang 68 he ended up running a 10.5 he got a 1.38 60 foot he had me by like 5 cars at the launch but by the 1/8th mile I was right beside him he must have been freaking out seeing a honda bout to whip him, too bad the top fubar'd I would have had him by about 1 car lenght at the end

on side note it is a good thing the top happened, on that run the pump for the air/water intercooler got clogged with a piece of the bag from the ice, basically I had no intercooler and with charge temps getting around 400 degress I dont think it would have been pretty at the end had I not shut it down lol

We are going to be maxing out a gt4294r turbo and spraying n2o I am pretty sure with that kinda power we will be running a bit faster than 150 mph

yah you can put a good tire on
with a 15x10 with 8" backspace you can fit a 10.5" tread width wide slick on it (it has 1/4" clearance to inside of fender and to rear frame lol but it does fit, thank god the slicks get skinnier as you go not fatter

stick with soft springs, good wheelie bar, it will be ripping

to fit those wheels you have to go over to a shock that doesnt have a external resivor (koni yellows is what I chose)

after that it all bolts up but is super tight, the brake calipers only have like 1/8" clearance to the wheel hubs lol darn honda had to put huge brakes on s2k

Belive me I know. You also want a shock with little valving under comp. But you want a good bit when it trys to recoil
