at 350hp(turbo I assume).
I'd go with the 24.5x8.5x13 on Bogart racing wheels.

those should hold 350hp pretty good.

i have 1 pair of 24.5x8.5x13 left in stock.
That size is pretty popular since alot of guys are going more all out lately.

i'll also have the 25x8x13 available in 4 weeks. those are still in production at this time.

SGT I see you are making 230 to the wheels now, what kind of times are you running now? Care to elaborate on your 2.0 setup?

What kind of brakes are you using? I have DA brakes on my 89 Si, and Bogart offers a spacer for their 13" wheel that allows it to clear the teg brakes.

SIREF8: on 220+ HP most guys have been going with the 24.5x8.5x13 on the M&H slicks
bogart wheels(drag-on fly star) with 24.5x8.5x13 around $830 mounted w/ valve stems, bogart lug nuts(+50 for speical built in spacers if on Integra brakes.

SPoon1: M/T is mickey thompson and M&H is another brand which is probably the most popular slick for imports.

Goodyear is top choice amongst the PRO Quick class right now, M/T also in certain sizes. M&H is popular becuase they are the only ones with the 22x8x13, which is a good size for the beginning hardcore racer(putting out 180-230hp, allmotor and turbo cars in the 200-275 hp range)
some guys choose to go a little bigger when they are nearing the next level in hp range.
