yep i reckon.

have a look at www.gtr.co.uk, under the wheels, brakes, tyres section of the forum, and check out the "pics of wheels on cars" thread.

there's a lot of rim/tyre combos there

I dunno about that Stewy, look at the 265s on a 10" wheel; that's what I'd consider a slight stretch.

Imagine 235s, that would be ridiculous!

I'm in the exact same situation, I've got 10" wide XD9s and I need rubber but I'm thinking I'd rather pay that little bit extra to get some rubber protecting the rim lip.

i ran 225/45's on 17x9.5's regularly, and that was with rims with shit bead seats (hard to bead) and run flat tyres (hard sidewall, very hard to bead). 225 on a 9.5" is equivalent to a 235 on a 10". im running 215's on my 17x9's atm and once again, equivalent to a 235 on a 10".

i guess it all depends on each persons opinion on what they define as stretch, but a 255 on a 10" certainly isnt an unsafe stretch, in fact its within the recommended sizes for a 10" rim from the manufacturer.

i'd run 235 by 40... heaps cheaper and will allow you to by better tyres for more grip... 235 is flush on 9" rims so on the 10" is slighty stretched... i've seem 235 on 11's driven every day... if your worried about rim protection buy 16s with heaps of rubber and stop hittin gutters when you park...

    • @Haggerty this is your red flag. In MAP based ECU's the Manifold pressure X RPM calculation is how the engine knows it is actually...running/going through ANY load. You are confusing the term 'base map' with your base VE/Fuel table. When most people say 'base map' they mean the stock entire tune shipped with the ECU, hopefully aimed at a specific car/setup to use as a base for beginning to tune your specific car. Haltech has a lot of documentation (or at least they used to, I expect it to be better now). Read it voraciously.
    • I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.
    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
