just wondering cause i just got a good deal on it for my hatch, but seems like everyone is sayin that my car is gonna be hella hella slow now, any opinions?? i have found out i can get some 8.5/24.5/15 m&h slicks wich should do the job

 

how much power do you have??

22x8x15's work well for most people till about 400 whp

 

why would it be wslow????

 

not sure why it would be slow, just seems like everyone says i shoulda stayed with the 4 lug, basically my setup isn't finished yet, but it's a full race kit on a fully built 84mm gsr block and a stock type r head......tuned on hondata, hoping to see somewhere around 450whp maybe more

 

i had a hard timwe with 22x8x15's with under 200whp , let alone 400+
trust me dude when you start having traction probs, youll say damn i shoulda listended and stayed simple 4 lug and ran smaller wheels with bigger slicks.Ive been going thru it for 3 yrs now. i just wont swap to 4 lug cuz i dont wanna downgrade my car. Im gonna run 26's to hope for traction

 

dont listen to anyone but us
it wont be slow, especially with your fullrace kit

Rob

 

read his other post , no one said it will slow, they just said function over form . if you want an easier time getting traction stick with something you can slap 13's on and it will be much easier, trust me

 

i have 5 lug on my turbo car.

 

5 lug over here too

 

turbotypeR what are you running for wheels/slicks?

 

chameleon does on his hatch, talk to him.

 

bumpity, anyone have any times on their 5 lug?? i noticed a few in peoples sigs

 

bogarts 15x8 and goodyear 26x8x15

 

thats a pretty tall tire, what tranny are you using??

 

he's still using the Type R tranny from what i remeber. Thats why i was saying that if you have the choice stay 4lug , we have to run 26inchers to even think about traction .

 

i have a purpose built ls tranny, with r final drive, that seems to work really well, at least it did on my non vtec 2.0 but i have the 5 lug now, so i'm gonna have to make do, i guess i'll just have to sell my bogarts and m&h's and get some 15 inch bogarts and some new slicks

 

got 5lug in a hatch no traction probs maybe its the heavy 2.2 sitting over the wheels

 

Here's my 22x8x15 MT's, i hit consistent 1.7's with my 60 ft.'s

 

is your civic on the left

j/k nice times

 

hmmm now this make me wonder i just ordered a big brake kit for my 2nd gen integra and i was planning on running 16 with drag radials ..will traction be a poblem?

 

TurbotypeR, where did you buy your goodyears from? Do they make those in 13's?

 

i am using a stock itr tranny.if you want a shorter tire,the next best tire would be the m/t 24.5x8.5x15
