Good luck with a slick that big!!! You really should be running a 22" slick. I am launching my eg hatch with a gsr swap at 6500-7000 with 23"x 8.5.
That is way too much for that setup, I let my buddy borrow my 24.5x8.5 on his i/h/e h22 swapped coupe and it worked well for him. He was launching around 7500 rpms on a stage 3 clutch and stock axles.
I'm not sure how much longer that would've lasted though.

yes stock axles
and exedy stage 1 clutch.
Im doing 15.4 on street tires
I wanna try and hit mid 14s or lower
Just need opinions and people who exp. with no prob.

Those tires are way to big for that. Like stated you should be running 22's. If your set on running them leave a lot of air in them so the walls don't wrinkle. And launch it off the limiter lol

Definitely get some smaller slicks/radials. I'm willing to bet you will go a decent bit slower with that much tire. Especially if you still are using a LS trans lol
Thanks for your input guys.
Guess im just gonna look for smaller slicks.
@tuner eddy
My buddy was running consistent 15.3-15.4 on street tires
98 Ls integra with BC stage 2 cams, I/H/E Untuned
Ran 14.5 with 22x7x15 MH slicks
Im pretty sure ill hit mid 14s but will see.
