22x8 should last you pretty long. its the most popular size for the NA B series 175-220 wheel hP.

We have found the 22" to be a little to big for the torqueless b16. You are better off with the 20". BTW the car we used to determine this was a 188whp 127 ft lbs tq B16 in a EF chassis. (12.92)

When we use the bottle we use the 22"

Thanks guys for all your info. . .i will probably go with the 22" x 8 ". . .i am going to swap in a GSR block with my B16 head in soon, so hopefully it will supply alot more torque than the b16

22x8 until you pass 220-225 hp and 140 tq somewhere around there ...........you will probably start to notice you 60 ft times slipping
