im finishing up my build and came across a set of slicks. i believe theyre MH 22x8x15. And i was wondering if there was a big difference between the 13s and the 15s. I would think NOT because the wheel diameter is the same, but Im pretty much a noob and would like to get some info before I jump into these.

Car is a DC2 integra, full interior, DD
LS/Vtec, ITR pistons, GSR head, JUN3 camshafts, hytech headers, skunk2 IM

really hoping it should be over 200+whp, but anyways, just wanna see the input everyone has on the different wheel size for the slicks.

ALSO, what kinda rims should they be mounted on? Just steelies or is there some other better rims?

 

The main difference between the 13 & the 15 is the 13" slick will give you more sidewall to wrinkle (which improves grip), & will be easier on the drivetrain. But at your whp level, drivetrain stress shouldnt be that much of an issue if you preload with the hand brake correctly.

Also, being that that particular slick is 8" wide, I'd suggest you go with a 7" wide wheel or wider, nothing less than that. Should you decide to go with the 22x8x15, go with something like a 15x7 Rota Slipstream. If you go the 13" route, give Wil @ Exospeed a holler in the Sponsor's section, & pick up a set of 13x7.5 VPD Lenso's.

 

silvia said it best, 100% agree with him

 

Thank you very much! I Wish I were able to get the 13s, but Im gonna go with the 15s since theyve only had a few passes on them and I know the guy selling them too, so im only getting the set for $60bucks. Cant beat that!

 

can a slick be mounted on an 14" hx rim
