Wheel and Tyre size for drag slicks for EP82

[omikron]

If one wanted to fit drag slicks that dont require body mods to an ep82, what size would one go for?

Spuddy got those 22 (think) outside diameter on his without an wing mods, better to chose tyre size for you power and gear ratios but mate.

a good running starlet with bout 300-350 traps 122-127 mph ... so to do that witha limiter of 8000 in fourth ... the math escapes me, brb

so.... if ur running a gt gbox consider 22x8x13s first... if u see that ur not getting enough grip though the run then switch to 23x8x13s

if ur running a glanza gbox i would suggest 23x8x13s in any case if ur running over 300bhp, as they really help

**edit** just noticed... so 22s & 23s will fit without any problem on a 13x7.5 rim.. with an offset of 23.. but ull need to raise the car quite alot to run 23s.. they are very similar to running 205x40x16s ... except about half an inch bigger (diameter wise).

Is this right?

im on 195/50R15 now which iirc is 22.7 inches diameter so 22's would gear it shorter?
