Those of you who are running drag slicks on 5th gen - Honda Prelude Forum

I want to get some slicks but i'm not sure what size will fit my prelude.
My lude is also lowered on H&R springs.
Any inputs welcomed.

I am running Welds Draglite Wheels 15x8 on M&H Slicks (23x8.5x15). I went to my local import shop to order them so i know I got the right size. Havn't test fitted them yet though, hopefully they'll fit. With these wheels I have to order Weld's Lug Nuts because standard open end lug nuts won't work. I will also be running ARP extended lugs.

They look nice.
Is your car lowered at all?

yes, about 1.5 on Tein SS Coilovers. Gonna install my ingalls "stiffy" engine damper this week. Then get an alignment and i'll be all set.

I know DVSracergirl has slicks, you might want to ask her as well.

im running the same size slicks 23x8.5x15 with arp extended lugs and tuner lug nuts.
my car is probably at almost a 2.5" drop by the time my slicks are on with the pressure set. so being lowered isnt going to be a problem.

mine are mounted on Kosei K1 rims which from what im told you can no longer buy.

you can use any 15" rim that will mount to acura type-r tho.

precisionelite · 08-29-2006, 09:50 PM

what size are your rims? 15x?

dvsracergirl · 09-12-2006, 02:30 PM

i think theyre 15x7s theyre the kosei K1....

I have to run (2) 5/16'' wheel spacers per wheel to make them fit.
