    What do you guy's know about Silverstone FTZ Sport tyres?
    I'm planning to buy them in 225/50 R16 size.
    Does anyone have some experience with them?

    Thanks!

    You're right!
    Then I'll go for 205/45 R16

    That is much better!

    Here are some photos, today I tried them on.
    Well obviously the 215/40 tyres are too small in the diameter.
    So I will probably use 205/45 or 215/45 ones.

    And I think I'm gonna need some lowering springs, because this way it looks like a grasshopper.
    Note that the engine is missing...

    And now I know why I liked these rims at the first look.
    They look very similar...

    The core of the IC is 310x205mm.

    I can measure the full shape, including plastic end caps, if you need?

    Finally, they are finished.
    They are made of 10mm thick steel plate.

    Unfortunately now I have very little time for my car...

    The main parts of the calipers have been sand-sprayed.

    The results:

    They are going to get brand new pistons, and a yellow painting.

    Look what I bought today!
    A complete block, crankshaft and the connecting rods.
