go with a 24.5*8*13 slick...

22" is more for all-motor honda's, with 300whp definately up to a 24.5" slick. M&H's, Hoosiers, and MT's are all good slick brands.

that's the thing, us prelude guys can't run 13 in rims cuz of our brakes so we have to use a 15in rim.

M&H makes a 24x9.2x15 and a 24.5x8.5x15

M/T makes 24.5x8x15

Hi (flip1199) the 22's would be to small, you need to look @ the 8.5/24.5-15 or the 9.2/24-15 if that is what you are looking for in a M&H. I will need more info on your set up, I will IM you. John@M&H

before i was turbo i ran mid 13's with nitrous on 22's and was cutting 1.8 60 foots on them

i think for only 250whp you could easy hook up on 22's , and keep the gearing so you can be on the top of 4th going thru the traps

Let me know I can hook you up on 8.5/26-15 we have no 8" unless the 8.5 will not fit under the fenders. John@M&H
