Default 400hp and 400tq what size slicks

Here is the problem i am having. I am using a turbo f22 sohc which dont rev but to 6500.
I have a b16 tranny so i max out 5th gear at about 125 mph. A set of 24.5 slicks would help me out a great deal on top end but will i be able to launch them with out breaking stuff. i have a solid setup on 22 inch slicks. Also will 24.5 slicks fit my car (95 EG) with out messing with the fenders alot.

Get a decent coilover setup to you can adjust the suspension and preload your drive train when you launch. Run the 24.5s and you will ride out. You have a dyno sheet for that setup. Sounds cool.

i was happy with my m/t 24.5x8.5x13"

sure they were old and im sure with a higher launch it would go better but 1.7's it was hitting. with 520whp/412wtq.


as for fitting all i did was jackup the front and rear and i was fine. im on pic full 1piece and they worked amazing for me , car never dipped too.

i wouldnt go with anything smaller then 24.5's with 400wtq , and with u having a b16 tranny you may need 25 inch slicks to , good thinig about big slicks with a nice side wall its easier on parts then u think, its all about how u drive

I have 400+hp and 390+trq and got the 25inch MH's Cut some 1.63's with them. I am very satisfied with them. Started at 8psi and worked my way down, every pass would bring them up. Good luck.

not to bad for stock bottom end either
you should read this all the f22 make same tq as hp https://honda-tech.com/forums/forced-induction-16/%2A%2A%2Aofficial-f22b-turbo-thread%2A%2A%2A-1983967/
I dont have any dyno sheets on me but going to the dyno soon with new head, bisimoto cam, and valve springs. I should be able to rev to about 7500 maybe 7800.
