unless you can raise your car if you got adjustables, I dont' think so. Remember slicks will expand at the top end. Remember way back that happened to Dave Shih (1996)and he almost lost it..

the 8.5's no. 8's more then likely no only because of how big the sidewall is and once pressure is lowered....would probably hit.

anybody have more info to correct me if i'm wrong?

i got too much power for the slicks i have, they dont have enough meat and they break loose all the time .
i got the Mickey thomson 8/22/15. I wouldnt mind going with a 13, but i cant get smaller than 15's on my hubs, becuase my brakes. . . i dont want to go to 4lug either.. . . any suggestions?
yes i do have coilovers. . . . . all motor only pushing about 180ish , current nos set up about 250 or so and new nos set up anywhere from 280-300 whp when tuned in the next 2weeks or so .

well the M&H is a 24.5 x8.5x 15. . . . will the 8.5 clear? i can prob squeeze them on a 7 or 7.5 inch wheel , but the tires will a little more . . . or , i can use spacers to ofset them more so they dont rub?
anyone try this before?

with my 14" blackies, it is tucked perfectly..

I can barly tuck my 24.5x7x13 under my fenders on my teg. Im lowered maybe a 1/2 inch in the front. They will hit the fender liner a little bit if you running way fast (ive gone 130 mph) so jsut rip them out.

Listen..... (haha, now that I got your attention, I'll start)

Do this. Find yourself a set of Integra GSR front brake calipers, and shave the very outside top part of it. Slap them onto your ITR hubs and BOOM, you have enough room for 13" drag wheels. Just get yourself a good set of brake pads, and braking will be the same as the ITR *****. Now that you can fit 13" drag wheels on your car, run some 13x7.5" Lenso drag wheels (cuz they're cheap, and it's always good to save money), and run some 24.5x8x13" slicks. You'll be fine. Be SURE to raise your car up a little, or else the fenders will rub right AFTER you run the 1/4, when you start braking. Nose dives a little, and fender will make contact with slicks. Any tire bigger than 24.5", you're gonna be braking axles more often than I do.

Low 12's? Must be nice. I hope to be there someday....

Why don't you just run BGD drag radial 225/50/15. I'll do it upcoming sunday. No good 15inch slick dimension available.
