The 16/8" federals are 205/50zr16 with an 87w load rating, 240 treadwear, AA traction and A temperature rating.
The fitting guide suggested 7" as maximum width however they arent stretched to fit. They seem to be perfect sidewall for the width. The 17/8 lms i havent fitted the correct profile yet, just a tentative fit with the original tyres that came with them from rupewrecht.
I'm starting to think i'll stick with the 16s to avoid unwanted attention from those with the power to instantly destroy my dreams. I have an immaculate driving history, not so much as a parking ticket or accident in 17 years on my full licence. It used to buy you a bit of discretion but it stands for nothing it seems these days.
