After I destroy my 265's this summer what would be a better diameter to go to to get better out of the hole and turbo spool up?

Generally speaking if you have traction a shorter tire will get you out of the hole faster.
If you want the turbo to spool up you will need a higher stall converter in say the 2800 to 3000 range.
