the closest size M&H has to that are 23x7.5x15.
M/T does make the 22x8x15 but i heard doesnt hook up that great. but it might be diff in other cases.

Feel free to IM me for M&H info.
We stock the popular sizes, but special order sizes can be shipped out within 1-2 weeks.

I wanted a set of M&H, would the 23" be good for a 300whp set up?

based on your HP, the choices to start out with would be
22x8x13, 22x9x13, 24.5x.8.5x13

these are all good sizes that you can play with at the HP range you are at.

wouldnt i have to modify the brakes to fit a 13" rim? thats the only reason i was thinking of going with a 15" rim is because i was under the impression thats all that could fit over stock integra brakes. also, im not buying the slicks for the hp im making now but slightly over 300-325 range. the 22's would still be best u think?

well if you use Lenso rims, they will clear the integra brakes.
if on Bogarts, you would have to have the Bogarts with a built in spacer onthem

at 325 wheel HP, the 24.5x8.5x14 would be a good size.
but even the 22x9x13 will still work. ask Mike/ninseccrx they were using 22's in their race car.

no problem,
step up to at least a 9" wide slick on the 22's so you get good contact patch even with a smaller tire.
22x9x13

I say with the 22x9x13 will still allow you to race in the IDRC class you want to race in DIRep972. Plus, I would go smaller since the gear ratios will be shorter with the 13" diameter wheel.
I plan on getting this size for my setup but I never have any money, but I will get them from exospeed(will).
