i had the 215's on my 19'' G's..... it was stretched in the back..... i thought it looked pretty good. but i agree the stretch looks much better on a non factory wheel.

Quoted for MF truth. I'm going 245/40-18 Exclaim UHPs or S-Drives this Spring. Don't do the Z sizes, and with the roads around on a 35, you'll eff them up nicely.

Seriously.. idk how purple came about, but whatever.. on to what i realy wanted to say..
The tire size on the Z wheels I sold you are factory; they looked fine on my car, obviously a lot different on yours. I, personally, like a good rubber to rim ratio, no homo. I hate the look of cars with such thin tires, that if it were to run over a hairline crack on the street, it'd explode like an atomic bomb.
A nice tire size that'll give a nice thin sidewall profile without sacrificing drivability, ESPECIALLY in RI, would be 245/40/18's. Any smaller than that, you may as well trailer your car everywhere you want to take it without having your rims rashed up to the point of looking like the serrated edges of a knife.
And question.. I assume, since I noticed you posted a pic of a TB adapter, your running a 3.5 PF TB.. Did you port match the TB adapter to the bore of the TB opening on the manifold? It is going from a 3" I.D. to like a 2.5" I.D., that turbulence will KILLLLLL your hp.
When you wire up that Emanage Ultimate I sold you.. make sure you reset the settings/parameters. Don't start the car on my boosted map or you may just go ka-bloom and have purple shrapnel for decoration. There should be a couple maps on there too that are pretuned for I/H/E.
Just pointing things out man.
