You may want to pm sirmike1 on this site. He is running a 275/40/19 on the back of his car and it looks like a 60's muscle car. It definately adds some sidewall but it will me noticably slower. Your front overall diameter would be .7" taller then stock and you rear would be a crazy 1.3" taller. And thats assuming you have 18's stock. If you have the 17's, then the difference would be even greater.

Oh yeah, jay the procharger was delayed for some reason but according to ATI, it's scheduled for delivery today. So give it a week and we should be able to start testing

I think you will be fine with a 275/35 with the 10". The problem I have with my 18's are the front. I have already bent one of them with a 235/40/18. You just have to be careful.... NY is just as bad as NJ...
Mike, my car is getting dropped off tonight for the computer so I should have some results by thursday. Call me or email me if you want to come down thursday to check it out! I should also have the plenum by then.

About you coming from 17 in rims.. I'm not sure if it will make that big of a difference where you'd be forced to go with 35's. You'd have to ask someone else on that, I'm assuming it may only be a matter of a couple mph.

i know NY is 10x worse ( i live there in the winter) (in NJ for teh summer)
j's......when you say you bent your wheel how did you repair it...did you have to buy a new wheel??
and wouldnt a 285 give me more protection from curbing
i have been looking into the 285 because vic350z has it and says it works...so since 285 has more meat than 275 im all for it

Vic does have a 285 but he has it in a 35 rofile.. To compare sizes to stock height and diameter, use a tire calculator like www.powerdog.com/tiresize.cgi and type in the stock size and then the sizes you are thinking of.......

i noticed you were in the process of creating a piggyback ecu...i promised myself to put some money in performance mods before i spend it all on looks
reason im askin you in this thread is cause im a little embarrassed cause i dont exactly know how an ecu functions
would you mind just giving me a crash course
assuming the car is stock what does the ecu do to create more power...and are there any negatives?
