lots of different factors come to play when choosing a slick size.like whats the weight of the car what final drive and tranny that your running. but for your horsepower range i would say any 22 inch slick would do.

thats correct:

Gearing, Final Drive, Rim size, HP, all play a factor in choosing the right slick size.

In your case though, I assume you have a basic GSR setup(GSR trans and Motor), a 22x8x13 will be a good size for now and as you step up into the low 200s. once you get into 230+, theres 23" tall slicks and different widths on 24.5" slicks.

seems like a 23x8x13 would be the best compromise for you.

you have the nitrous so you need a bit more Bite than the 22", but then you dont have a great amount of HP either to move to a 24". so the 23" tall seems to be the best overall.

cable jdm s1 tranny, 4.40 fd, 13" rim(lenzos), 182/140, what would be my ideal slick size? would a 22x8x13 with a 8500rpm redline be the one, or will the 23x8x13 be the better choice? BTWright now i'm using a M&H 13" dot drag radial tire, to finish the 1/4 mile in 4th gear at about 7-7500 rpms. if i change from that tire to a slick, will i need to touch fith gear?

What do you guys use for the 13 inch wheels? I am looking at slicks but am using an OEM honda wheel (maybe a 15 inch).

Were do some of you buy the MandH slicks? I have found a lot of places that sell Mickey Thompson but not MandH.

Also, I am not sure if the 24x9x15 will fit on my 6.5 inch wide integra alloy. What is the widest that would fit?
