Default what size BFG for a 14" wheel ?

I have an integra and have some spare 14" wheels I would like to use to put some sticky tires for track days. I have a 182whp on a b18c. What size BFG's would be best for my wheels ? I would prefer not to use my dailt ecsta SPT's for the track cause I would like them to last and just use these for drag racing. Thanks.

bfg only make 2 variations in the 14" size. the 205.50.14 and the 215.60.14

in you case, with the power you are making, i suggest the 215.60.14 fr you.

I agree. More width but not as tall.

Yeah I own both 225/45/14 and 215/60/14 tires. On the K20 AH which is making around 230 whp, the 215/60/14's 60 footed and trapped faster than the 225/45/14's. We went from 1.9's to 1.7's when we changed tires. This may not be a great comparison for your setup as your car is a lot heavier and doesn't make as much power. Our suspension setup stayed the same as well.
