Default Type R slick/wheel combos?...

I know there are several Type R's here making some pretty good power. After a dyno-tuning session I hope to be making 400whp(I believe I'm at 350whp) right now. Anyway, I need to know if 8.5/26-15 M&H slicks will fit on a Type R with stock suspension? Will they rub etc? Should I go with 24.5's instead?
I will be running 15x7" Kosei K1's for whatever slicks I end up buying.
Thanks for any info.
Mark

i would go with the 24's cause i don't think you will be making the power for 26's, and why not run 13's for more sidewall?

400whp isn't enough for 26's? And come on man, everybody knows that 13" wheels won't fit over ITR brakes.
Thanks.

lenzos should fit they are spaced out, ITR brakes arn't that much bigger than Si brakes

also go with 24's or something along those lines you don't have enough power to turn that monster of a tire

Here's a 15x8 Bogart Drag On fly for the ITR lug pattern.

You'll have to run 15's because of the brakes on a ITR.
I run 22x8r15's MT Slicks on Rota Sub-Zeros and they have no problem clearing.
...Although... the Bogarts Drag 15s are really nice and really light....hmmm
