Default 225/45R14 BFG drag radial too small for DC2?

im thinking about using 14" steel wheels for drag radials. the widest 14" BFG drag radials are 225/45r14. my question is, is this too small for an integra?. its .71" smaller in diameter than a 195/50r15. or should i use maybe a 215/60R14

anyone have any other recommendations for a 14" drag radial on an Integra?

215/60/14 is what i currently run, its 24" so that might be a bit big for your power level. I think the 225/45/14 is too short, plus its hard to find a 14" wheel wide enough to take advantage of the added width.

I what about 205/50/15 or 225/50/15?

well i was thinking about using the 225-50-15, but i was thinking it might be a little too big to clear. and i was thinking i might have better luck with 14" wheels as far as traction goes.

the 215-60-14 is a 24.16" tire where the 225-50-15 is a 23.86" tire. the only reason i was thinking about going with the 14's is it will give me more tire.
