Default About slicks, and sizes, what you could recomend for me? help

What is most important of slick parameters? is it widht? or total diameter? i just dont know, what to do now i got a 1994 civic, witho stock d15b2 on 0.5bar, and, Iam building d16z6 bottom end, with eagles/vitaras and so on...
but i got front brake discs from VTi, minimum wheel requirment 14"... so, there is no slicks, for 14" wheels, so I probobly need 15"? and what sizes, I have no drop on front, but maybe i will have something about 1inch... now I have something about 160whp, and with d16 build engine for start planing something about 270whp... so, what would be the best solution for me? I was thinking of M/H 23/8.5-15, would it be good? pliz help guys Thanks a lot

I'd think those m&h 23's would be a good option.

22x8x13 should be good for you.

There are wheels that you can run that will allow you to run 13" wheels on bigger brakes. Look up Lenso wheels.

23" slicks would probably be a better choice. You could run 22" slicks but if you plan on making more power, you would be better off with the 23s.

If you want to keep it simple and run a stock honda 15" wheel setup, you can easily get the MT 22x8x15s.

OK, but would be 22/8-15 would be good for ~270whp? + it will be with my current turbo setup + not fully build engine, so, if something, I will plan to go bigger the 270whp's. and if i could get those Lenso 13" what would be the best drag slick to run? M/T or M/H? and sizes?

i ran 10s on my M&H 23x8x13's on lensos... if u went with 23s w/ a 15inch rim it would most likely work out for you

i am going to 24.5's next year, how ever, i plan to make more power and already had traction issues with the 23s

Wheel spacers with extended wheel studs will also help with drag wheels. I have run Lenzos and Bogart Pro-4's with GSR brakes up front... The bogarts have an offset that works without spacers but the Lenzos needed a slight spacer...
