looks fine to me, that speedo difference is neglible.

No idea, tbh the only way you're going to find out is by trying it. but they will fit, and your speedo will read more or less right.

I would definitely be inclined to choose a tyre with a fairly stiff sidewall though.

taken from elsewhere on here-


"After 8 months with my FN2 I was fed up with ride quality so much I've put it up for sale. That is saying much because apart from the suspension I really loved the car otherwise.
Then after some thought process and experiments I've put on a set of lightweight 17" wheels with 225/45 Eagle F1s specifically in 91V flavour (opposed to 94Y where higher load rating means stiffer side walls). New wheels with tyres fitted came in at 17.8 kg each vs original ones at 21.8 kg. Reduced unsprung weight and higher tyre profile transformed the car and ride quality does not annoy me any more. Grip and traction actually improved, partly because it's new tyres against 4 or 5 year old ones and partly because with less unsprung mass dampers are a bit more effective at keeping wheels in contact with the road. I'd definitely recommend trying this combination to anyone who's unhappy with FN2 ride."
