with the federals, you gotta be able to almost tuck rim or they look out of place... although....
these are on the 165/45's and they ain't tucking...

i have the 165/50's on 6.5 rim and they stretch a little. i can get you a pick for 165/50 on 8 if you want one.
also if you go the 165 route you should get the 50 since its a lot closer to handling the weight of a mk2 unlike the 165/45.
its just nice to be on the safe side, even thought i think notorious runs the 164/45 with out a problem.

id say roughly 2 hours per wheel, then a couple hours again at the end for finishing touches... the more time you lean into the polisher the better. estorils would look killa.
better pic
