also, please let me know what you think about the 6.5" vs. 7" width in 15" rims from my last post. thanks mike.
Yes it's safe. You can put more pressure in tires AS Long as you do not drive on them for long periods of time. Like my tires have a limit of 51psi but I put 60psi in them on Saturday for the drags.

And as for 6.5" vs 7" wider is always better but you need a tire that will work on a 7" vs a 6.5". 205 is great for 7" OR 6.5" but will sit better on a 7" wheel. As far as difference in feel you will prolly never notice a difference. As you get faster and better maybe that .5" you will feel. I'm thinking of trying the 15x6.5" Heliums myself since I can get them dirt cheap from my sponsors
