Default Drag radial what size?

Im looking to get a set of the BFGoodrich g-Force T/A Drag Radial for the Honda shoot out coming up..

I have the stock honda steelie 14in x 6 i think is its demention..

Should i go with the 215/60R14 which is a 24.2 in tire or the 205/50R14 which is a 22in tire.

If im correct the 215 is a wider tire which should give me greater traction and it being a taller tire shold give me a longer gear ratio keeping me in boost longer. ("** this being great cause curently i have to shift to fith as i cross the 1/4 or just let it ping of the rev limiter a few times**")

Will the 24.2 be to big for the wheel well?

Ans this is for a 1995 civic, with stock front springs, and reallly really tight rear suspension..

i hate when people say this. if youre "in boost longer" that means youre going slower. the 215/60 should be a good choice though.
