Default 2 questions about rims+nitrous

Ok first question is...I'm looking for rims to mount my 275/60/15 DRs. The BFGoodrich website says I can use an 8" rim. Since they are much cheaper I was looking at the following...but is that the right bolt pattern and the right backspacing...I don't know a damn thing about backspacing or what the hell it does. These wheels are for track only use

Alright the second question is...what fuel pressure safety switch do I buy for my NX wet kit? I've seen a few but I have no idea what to pick.

yes, those rims should fit up just fine backspacing is just from the bolt hub on the wheel to the inner lip...cant help you with the nitrous

yes on the wheels and you can get any brand Fuel safety switch as long as it's for EFI, which has greater fuel pressure. 25psi-50psi. I know the NX one is $50 compared to NOS one at $35, but they are esentially the same except the NX has 10psi more of a range on the upper end 60psi(you don't need this much anyway) you should set it at 50psi

If the fuel pressure drops too low the switch shuts off the nitrous soleniod to keep you from leaning out and blowing the motor. The fpss should be set around 25-30 lbs, unless you have a svt pump then you can raise it ,but you really dont need to. Setting it higher will cause the solenoids to chatter when the fuel solenoid opens and the pressure on the fuel rail drops.

NGK TR-6 seems to be the popular one for one step colder in copper (recommended).

you dont have to have new spark plugs unless you plan on spraying a lot without a tune
