Default What size slicks should I use??

This is for a 93 Integra w/ an all motor LSVTEC setup pushing around 180whp. What size slicks should I get?? I plan on using Bogarts to mount the slicks. Any places or websites do you guys know of that sells slicks and bogart rims?? How much should I expect to pay for two rims and slicks?? TIA for the info.

Oh yeah almost forgot. What are the advantages and disadvantages between 13", 14" and 15" slicks??

Thanks again.

I'd say run the 22x8x15". That will put the least strain on your drivetrain and will be enough to handle your hp.

When you go with a smaller wheel and keep the overall height, you increase the sidewall size and hence the flexibility, which increases grip.

As you go to a taller tire, the contact patch grows in the longitudinal direction, again offering more grip.
