Default Drag radials

I have a 1995 Civic coupe with a JDM Integra Type R 5 lug suspension. The bolt pattern is 5x114.5. I want to get some front drag radials, and keep the overall tire diameter as small as possible for better acceleration.

I've been looking at Nitto or BFG DOT drag radials and the sizes I see that I am most interested in are 205/50/14, 205/55/14, and 205/50/15.

I would like to go with the 14 inch rim, but I need to know if there is a 14x7 inch 5x114.5 lug pattern wheel (steel or otherwise) out there that will clear the larger 11 inch Type R front brakes?

BFG 205/50/15 would be your best bet.

as far as i know theres not a 14" wheel out there that will clear the type r brakes.

if you want to see for yourself look into some older MR2 wheels they have the same bolt pattern in a 14".

Mazda Millenia wheels are 11lbs and are 15x6. Run those with a set of 205/50/15 BFG's and you should be happy.

Its kinda hard to get a set of these for cheap and even harder if you just want 2 of them. My opinion is to get some rota slipstreams. They cost about the same thing, you can get them BRAND NEW in ANY COLOR, and not to mention various sizes (15x6, 15x7, or even 15x8). You save even more if you just want 2 rims. 14" rims will not clear type-R brakes by the way. Whats your setup?

why do you want tiny drag radials? if you're going to put tries on for traction, put on as big as you can go. I use 225 50 15s. love them.
give up on the 14s. you'll be on a long search for extremely minimum gains
