Default Slick Size Questions

Im debating on what size slicks i should run. 22" or 23" with an m2a4 open diff . (Likely to step it up to a 4.64 with a quaife in the future though)

I figure with the power im making i would trap in the 100-105 range possibly. And with the 23 3rd gear will top out at 115 at 8300 rpms. With a 22 3rd gear will top out at 110 at 8300 rpms.

With the 4.64 with 23 3rd gear will be at 106 and 4th at 118. However with the 22s 3rd will be at 101 and 4th at 113.

Im trying to figure out what slick i could go with that will be closest to ideal with both FD but if not then i would want to have it optimal for my current setup. Again im not sure what ill be traping around. Heres is the dyno graph though and the car is around 2500 now without driver so around 2660 with.

I always liked 23s for the fact that the torque in an h22 coming off the line may be enough to spin the 22s to where your not getting traction.

Forgive my ignorance of h series trans, but what FD is in the trans now?

read that because from that it looks like maybe i would want to go with 22s however once you jump to a 4.64 FD 23s look better.

Thanks for the help guys.

while gearing is very important, so is traction. You may spin the 22s. Thats why i went with 23s right away on my stock h22

now the question of what wheels size. Im running them on 15 inch rota slipstreams either 15x7 or 15x8. The tires will be MH 8.5/23.0-15. I can fit 15x8 wheels however is it worth the added weight ? I believe they are around 2-3 lbs heavier per wheel.

where can i get those rota slipstreams in 15x8 5x114.3? I currently use CTR rims on 22x8x15 but they are heavy and the slicks lap over the rims big time. I can only get 1.8 high 60fts with 220whp/160wtq. The tires just spin on the trackbite.
