Default What size slicks to get?

Okay I'm going to be getting one of these sets used
22.5 x 7.5 x 13
10 x 22 x 13
22 x 9 x 13

First of which ones should I get. With the 9 and the 10 inch wide ones, can I put them on a reqular set of aluminum 13" rims? Or do I need wider. He said the 7.5 will fit on any 5-6" rim. Also the guy said that the 9" have the most amount of wear but still have alot of passes left. I'm getting them cheap so I just want to what size is easiest seeing as I can't afford two new rims.

I've heard of guys putting 8" slicks on 13" steelies but I think that was the limit, don't think you could put 9-10's on there. I don't know much about slicks but I think you would be fine with the smaller slick on some steelies.

Well I just purchased the 7.5's. They will go nicely on my ASA 13" alloys. Not bad for 25 bucks also. The guy just has tons of used slick and he leafed though all them to find me some good ones. No if only shipping to Canada wasn't so steep!

you might be able to pull off bigger then 8's with the right offset
