Default another slick noob (yaaay)

ok, well im tired of spinning my *** off. so a slick purchase is in my near future. just need to get some particulars down i guess. setup is as follows

eg hatch
single slammer at ~350-400ish
fully adj coilover setup
comp stg4 clutch
all new front end chassis bushings(stock)
stock trans
stock axles
buddyclub extended ball joints(kicking in the ***)
lakewood traction bar setup
innovative mounts

with the extended joints im stuck in a 15in wheel. ive been leaning towards 24.5 mh. just not really sure on what size width. i have a pair of 15x7 +35et wheels sitting in the shed that these will go on. i really would like to stay away form drive train stress as much as possible(yea i know, good luck) as ive already broken two diffs. one was my fault and slammed the clutch out, the other wheel hop got to me all motor(hence the traction bars :D ) ANYWAYS. yea so i dont really know what width to go with, leaning towards a 24.5x8.5x15? not really sure as this is to my first time getting any kind of slick experience whatsoever. so any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance.

sweet build, pretty similar to mine actually(im just on lower boost and smaller turbo) what size are on yours at the end of your build thread? and yea i know i need an lsd, just not in the pocket book right now(have a spare trans in the garage in case another breaks ). but as far as power, yea its always gonna be a goal to increase, but right now I stopped the power thirst for upgrading other stuff. just would like to at least see where it sits right now without buying and then having to buy again later.

im currently running a 15" slick and have no complaints, pick your tire size on MPH goal ad RMP range. Since you have the wheels id go for it.
