slap some 15's on there with drag radials, it'll help your time/trap a lot. 11 psi should get you some mid 13's.

Yeah, I know this but I don't have the money right now to run out and grab some 15" wheels and some drag radials.

haha DO IT, you can be the guinea pig. I'm gonna get some BFG's for my steelies and share them with the SER and civic, luckily they are both 4X100 bolt pattern.

I know when i had my 17" monsoons on there with nitrous i raced my friend's spec v and would pull him about 3. I put my steelies back on and it jumped to a consistent 6 every time. The rotational mass/weight of the 17's just kills our cars. You can get a 205 wide 15" wheel and still have the grip.

use your steelies, you can run a 205 with the stock 14" wheel i think. Tire rack has the BFG ones for like 95 bucks a piece, it's still not cheap but it's cheaper

That's a great idea! Too bad my MP5 has 5-lug wheels or I'd swap the 16s out to the front of my Civic!
