I have a fully built 94 turbo integra LS and to make sure i get that power down to the ground i want to buy a pair of slicks for the drag strip. I know a crap load about turbos and so on but i dont know anything about tires and rims. I have no clue what all those numbers mean and all i want to do is buy mickey thompson slicks with 15inch rims for my integra. So hopefully someone can tell me what size numbers i need to get for slicks and rims that will fit my integra.

Micket Thompson lists the following sizes that would work for your application depending on how tall your tires are now...
im not an import guru so maybe someone else will chime in and correct me if i am wrong.
ET Drag
hieght x width x wheel size
22x8x15 probably the tire you want to use
24x8x15 kinda on the tall side for your application (i think)

How much power/trq are you making? Do you have coil overs? I would go with 13" bogarts or Lensos or Weld drag pros. Then depending on what power/trq you are making you can make a decision from there. Probably you are going to want to try out the 23.5/8 or 24/8/13 slicks. Check out www.MandHtires.com and talk to John.

I have coil overs and i have 195whp at 6psi and 260whp at 11psi, but i'll be running 11psi for the track.
