Default Concave wheesl for F-Type R in 20" or 21"

Since I do not like the original shoes of my cat so completely and it may still be a bit more, I wanted to ask you if you have experience with 20" and 21" rims.

The problem is mainly the hole circle 5x108, as well as the super-high-performance brake system from the R.

I would have liked originally the following KV-1 rim in VA 9x20 and HA 12x20 wanted:
Https://www.mb-design.de/jaguar-f-type-20-zoll-felgen/

After a visit to mb-design and fitting, we unfortunately had to realize that the 20 "front does not fit over the brake system.
In the summer of 2017 the KV-1 comes also in 21 "out and should fit then the R.
According to own experience, however, such a process lasts longer (production, TÜV tests ...) and you look around for alternatives.

Vossen would also have a very nice rim with the VFS 1, unfortunately not in the appropriate hole circle. Alternatively in 5x108 there would be the VPS 301, costs in the single price as much as almost one sentence with the KV-1. Thus also uninteresting.

Do you have any suggestions regarding concave rims for the cat in the following desired dimensions:

VA 9-10 x 20-21" with tires 245-255 / 35-30
HA 11-12 x 20-21" with tires 305-325 / 30-25

The best way to do this is with expert opinions on road traffic.

Many Thanks

Personally I think 21s are too big and make the car look like an off-road vehicle. I wouldn't go that route. I am however, surprised that the 20s didn't clear the calipers since Jag's 19" wheels fit. Looks like you're going rather conservative in the front but quite extreme in the rear regarding size. I don't know that you'll be able to find an off the shelf wheel that could possibly fit 325s w/ no issues. 265/305 is more realistic.

I am 265 / 35-30 also right in front. The problem is easy with some 20 "rims that they do not fit over the brake system, so at 20" is always a certain risk.

If you do 21 and lower it it would look amazing...

Did you try looking at HRE? They will machine them to whatever spec you want. Being that you are in Germany doesn't whatever wheel you use have to be TUV approved?

I don't believe your problem is that " 20's " wont fit. Most likely your issue is that the face of that specific wheel will not clear the big brakes. Concavity or design of the spokes makes a big difference in clearance.

I like the FR3 in matte black. Fits the sizes 10.5x20 "255/30 and 11.5x20" 305/25?Would be very interesting.

Unfortunately the front 20x10.5 will not work with the F type. The offset is too aggressive and the lip will poke out almost 1 inch.

The 20x11.5 rear will work with offset of 30.

I am doing another F type on the FR4 20x9et35 and 20x11.5et30 with very deep concave in the rear lowered on H&R springs and modified fenders. (Shave/cut).

I'll post pics when its completed when the wheels arrive in a week or so


I am currently running 20x9 and 20x11.5 on a 295 Toyo Proxe rear lowered on H&R springs. I believe I will rub with a 305.

There is a local to me F Type R lowered on H&R and on 22inch Savani wheels. It actually looks really clean. The 22's fill the wheel well really well. I like the look of his car but personally, 20's on a 295/305 rear looks really good rather than the thinner profile tires he is running.

-FR500GT, its Billy's car from the OSO car wash.

Here is JVIII's beautiful F Type R I did on 20x9 and 20x10.5 lowered on H&R and 15mm spacers.

The 9x20 and 10,5x20 look very nice with the 15mm spacers. Which ET you have chosen front, so that the 9x20 not too far in the wheel box? I think I will take the 9x20 ET 38 front with 245/30 and rear 11.5x20 ET 30 with 305/25. From the wide rear it should fit normally, since MB-DESIGN even rear 12x20 ET 40 with 325/25 tires. I will still use H & R threaded springs. So I could also get back a bit higher, the rear tire should grind. Also liked the Rohana CR7 in matte black. Has anyone here already experience with these and the rims would fit over the brake system. The CR7 are also offered in 9x20 and 11x20. Would be synonymous rich rear.
