FYI to everyone who has been PM-ing me about where I got the tims at, here you go, Diversified Products 1-734-459-0130. I was VERY happy with their customer service and QUICK service  Also, SVT Unit, I went with the BFG KDW P215/45/17 and man do I love the smoooooth sidewalls on those tires, screw those little ribs on most of the newer style tires :p

Ok, now that some people actually have mounted some of the FSVT wheels on a Contour (they look awesome BTW) does anyone know what the FSVT wheel offset is? I did a search and can not find it.

I'm almost positive that its 40mm, but don't quote me. Someone will chime in but don't wait, get the rims, I love them

Not bad Roger. Those actually look just as good or better than the cellos.
IMHO that style of rim looks better on SVTs than SEs.

Very nice looking...what size tires did both of you guys go with? It looks like a 40 series from the pics but I'd like to know for sure. I take it you both got the KDW2's. And did either of you happen to weigh them? I'm curious to know about how much they weigh over the CSVT E1 style. TIA.

SVTUnit - Love the look, same color as mine. What size/model are those tires? I'm toying with the idea of 225/45-17 on FSVT rims. Anyone else wanna try first? I think it should be fine. Only 0.1" taller tire than the 225/50-16 I'm running now, which has never rubbed. Brian Dors 99 SVT

Hello bxd20,
The tires are Firestone Firehawk SZ50 EP's in size 215/45/17. I would highly recommend these tires! This is the second set I've had, the first were on my Cobra. They are great in the dry and are awsome in the rain! Go to Tirerack.com and look at the reviews they get.

I ended up going with the BFG KDW (OEM-style) and the size is P215/45/17. I would have gotten the KDW2, but there is only (1) size available right now, or last week I should say and that was P205/40/17 and thats not what I wanted, especially with my cars "altitude problem". Besides I wanted a P225/45/17 but thats not offered in the BFG KDW :rolleyes:
