i just wonder how bad it would have been if i would have been on my 410 or 454rwhp tune instead of my 345rwhp tune lol.

the biggest problem i have is even my 295/45/18 nitto 555's wont hold anything over 4k rpm in 1st gear, and i dont know how much wider i can go lol

LOL.. dude, the probably would've **** himself if you were running the race tune.. :-p And as for tires, how wide are your rims broham? If the 18's are a 9.5" wide rim or better you can probably go as wide as 315/35's.. I'm not sure about the S197 stud length, you might need spacers but the 3xx Nitto's should fit methinks.. That'll at least give a little more grip brudda..

they are 10" wide, im sure i could easily go 315, but the lack of sidewall might start hurting.

i love the look of the tall tire back there right now.

I know for a fact you can go 315 wide on a 10in wheel. I just don't know how tall of a side wall you can get tho.

I looked up the sizes on Nitto's website Fazm, and the 315's only come in 30 and 35, while the 305's go up to 50 brudda. So if you're worried about the sidewall heigth, you could go a little wider at 305 and still keep the 45 sidewall on the rears.. That would still help a bit on getting more rubber on the ground broham..

Not to jack Fazm's thread, but I'm saving for the sheet metal 3-core, as my next step is a boost-a-pump, forged manley I-beams, and a 14-psi pulley for the P1.. Though if I can afford it I want to upgrade to a stage two D-1 so I won't have to worry about impeller failure under boost brudda..
