22" would put your max MPH in 4th gear at 121mph so you would be good with those.

Our VPD 13s and STAR8 13" racing wheels are specifically made to fit all Integra 88-00(Exc ITR) and civic 88-00 brake setups.

Not just any 13" wheel will work. but the way our wheels are designed is that the spokes clear OEM calipers.

You can check out the wheels we have on our site www.exospeed.com and if you have any questions, just email us.

How they look like if you have never seen them before.

up to 9 inches but you may have to do a bit of rolling the fenders, but as many have previously stated 22x8x13's will be perfect for what you are going for.

ok looks like im goin a diff route, the 13" rims arent in my budget so my choices are 14" or 15" i have some drag dr27 wheels. there pretty light and there 15's. i can run those or try to find some 14" steelies but i dont know how wide steelies are, but i plan on doing 22/8 just rim size is my weak point. i imagine the 14's would be better than the 15's

Is your car really heavy? 98mph seems a bit low, even for 230whp. Even if the track was horrendous, with 98mph traps you shouldn't be spinning that bad. 22x8x15 should be fine.
