Default slicks on my hatch what size?

i am going to be running a 270whp eg hatch b18b ls motor
will these size slicks be good and what rims would i need for these size tires
24.5 x 8.5 x 15 their m&h's. i found a good deal on them and would like to know if this would be a good choice for a 300whp civic


or what size tire/rim combo would be good

too much tire. look at the 23"s
you are going to dead hook and bog.

they may work, but you will probably deadhook and bog bad.
