You should be fine, but before you drive on them, ensure that their are no fitment issues, like rubbing. I know from buying tires from tirerack, that you can return them as long as their not driven on.

Agreed. Not all tires makes run the same width despite the same number dimensions. For example Michelin 275's run wider than Bridgestone. I think it has to do with the squareness of the tire shoulders.
Check tirerack.com for the specs on the width.

Tune remains . we didn't change mine to the latest version . Jerry had had enough when we finally dyno's mine. Pulled 438whp. Going to re-flash in the spring with the new version. I think there should be another 10whp still in there....
