I'm looking at getting some wheels for the Jag. I was thinking about going alittle wider in the rear. Do you guys think that would be a good idea with an all wheel drive car?

BTW: I'm looking at the 18" TSW Kyalami's in Hyper Black.

Thanks for the advice.

Might think twice - check Iron Pony's thread further down the page. Also - I didn't think TSW made correct wheels for the X-type????

18 inch wheels and extra wide is not a good idea. you'll end up rubbing the wheels and damaging the tire. also, incorrect offset (a.k.a, not a rim designed for the jag) will greatly effect your steering and alignment

Thanks for the info.

I think I'm going to go with a set of Kazera KZ-A in the 18" Variety.

Hmmm X type 750, dunno bout the offset idea with wider rims on the back?
I seem to remember a few years ago when the Avengers were on they had a Jag like that with flared arches and so on, dunno bout today style wise on the X.
Let alone the other issues you may have to contend with!
