"Brave of you to be using 90's British automotive engineering in the winter....
Hope that underseal has been refreshed."
The cat wants out of garage once per winter. Dry -20C day is best time to do it and drive just unsalted small roads - even professional rust proofing has been done every 4-5 years.

I do know that these ladies are prima donnas and need attention (my father had one in the 80's and still curses about it. LOL)

The rims are Jaguar OEM, and off a XKR, called "double fives".
They are 18" staggered, with 8J in the front and 9J in the rear.
I still see them popping up on various sites from time to time.
Although they came on the XKR in F245/45 & R255/45, I fitted 275/40 in the rear.
This gives the exact same sidewall height front and rear, as well as the same ratio between rim-width and tire-width.
The only modification you will need to do, is to 'halve' the rear bump-stop rubber.
I did not experience any ill effects from that over the last year.

Have a great summer while the rest of us here in the great white north are busy dodging arctic clippers and slush on the roads.

A pic from British Car Day yesterday. Unfortunately I was too lazy to put the BBS Detroits on, but if I'm completely honest, these do look nicer. Just a pity they won't clear the Brembos

Liking that a lot, but then again I would, looks just like my x308 did.
