Putting down the power
Looks like it will be a month or two before I turn the boost up. Sent my ECU into JWT and they said at least 3 weeks....so probably two months 
I was gonna pruchase a used JWT 550, Z32 program but it was for an auto Maxima and I decided I did not want to put up with the CEL's. I would have had to remove the injectors, MAF, and put the stock ECU back in for emissioins testing. So I just said *** it and sent my I30 ECU into JWT
So in the mean time I got some other goodies to play with. Some 245/50/15 Dunlop SP 8000. Not my first choice in tires but they are literally the only company that makes a wide sticky 15" tire. My 215/60/15 Potenza RE950's are great tires but they can't begin to hold my current 260wtq, let alone what I will be putting down with 10-11 psi.
Also picked up an MEVI so my power will stop falling on it's face after 5.5K rpm's. The 7.2K rev limiter and MEVI will be sweeeeeeet! Once I am out of first I will never see anything below 350 whp.

I don't pretend to road race or autox so I don't need a lower profile tire. Just acceleration baby!http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...d/106_0654.jpg

Per Tire Racks website the manufacturer recommended rim width range is 6.5"-9.5". He's fine on 7.5" rims.

Yep, I would not try squeezing on too wide of a tire on a narrow rim. And since they are 15's there is more side wall flex to work with.

I actually have a lead on another set of 4. I only need two, would you be interested in the other two. Don't have a price yet, but it is kind of a "hook up" situation so I think it would be cheap

With a 50 series it'll be no problem putting 245 on a 7.5".
Man fxck keeping the VI operational. You need to remove torque. Just pull the plates man. I burn down 245's in first and second and I'm not even boosted.
