Hey I posted a thread in wheel/tire section but thought you guys might have some input because most of the threads over there are for looks it seems like.

Heres my post from the wheel/tire section:
Hey guys,

I've searched and haven't come up with anything solid. I need a wheel and tire combo for my 97 Prelude. It's going to be 450hp or so on the street and 650hp or so on race gas. I will be looking into getting slicks in the future but for now when I go to the track it will be on the tires I choose for the street.

Right now there are some heavy 18" rims on there now so I deff want to change it up. I was thinking 15 or 16". I am willing to roll the fenders to get wider tires if need be.

What so you guys think would be the best combo size and offset wise?

Thanks,
Matt

p.s. my first thought was to get some Enkei RPF1's but they don't seem to come in a size that matches my needs

What size/offset rim and tire size is the main question.

 

Are you on stock brakes?

 

Yes I am.

 

I use 15x8 Spinwerkes on my Prelude, but I forgot the offset. I sent a PM to Bisi and he hooked me up with the correct offset.

We can make our STAR5 forged wheels in 7" to 14" widths with a variety of different backspacing to fit alot of cars.

For a Prelude at that HP level, you will be using a 24.5x8.5x15 slick. The rim with will be 15x8. Backspace at 4" to get more lip on the front but it will stick out more than if you went with a 5" backspace.
The 5" backspace will bring in the wheel inside the fender more and it will have less of a lip.

Here's our STAR5s

 

^^ pmed you
