I was wondering what size tires are needed for 22" wheels to fit ? i know mostly everyone is against it on this board but im sure with the correct wheel must look pretty cool

 

The only tire sizes to come close would be
Rear: 295/25ZR22
Front:255/30ZR22

Yes they will fit the OEM suspension, but keep in mind you'll have nothing more than a tread wrapped wheel. The same ride quality as a forklift.

 

 

I'd be more concerned about it affecting the steering. I've driven some cars with the big rims where the car seemed to dart all over the road when it hit a bump, apparently is is not uncommon. The 21's are perfect though, so maybe 22's would be OK.

 

I am running 25-series tires (Michelin PS4s) with my 21" wheels and they actually ride better than the stock 20" Pirellis.
Problem with going to 22" is that you would need to use 20-series or thinner tires to maintain the overall diameter. If even available, these would be so damn thin a small pebble could bend the rim.
Going with 25-series tires on a 22" wheel would increase the overall tire diameter, throwing off the speedo and likely causing rubbing issues.

I did find this image of 22" Vellano wheels, but it doesn't say the tire size. Too big for me, but doesn't look too bad!!

 

I had a Jaguar XF 2011 with these 22'' on there. I still have these wheels put away for a couple years now, I forget what the tire sizes are that i had on them; they are pretty much brand new. Ill have to check, but someone crashed into me and totaled my XF in the beginning of 2016. Ill be picking up an F-Type in the next month or so. I am having a hard time finding one with red interior. I found a Black Convertible with Red interior but i am not sure if i want a Convertible. I really like White coupe with red interior or with Ivory/Cirrus...

 

I'd never consider going higher than 20 on this car, primarily for this reason. Secondary reason is the overall feel of the ride.

 

I have driven the car for 1-1/2 years. One year with the OEM 20", and 6-months with the 21". AND, I lowered the car when I went to 21" wheels.
The car rides smoother, quieter, sticks better & I have experienced no harshness or darting... at least no worse than the OEM set-up. Wider tires, offset, and especially camber and alignment will affect the steering a lot.
I would attribute my positive outcome to lighter wheels, better tires, and excellent alignment/camber settings.

However- I would not suggest 22" on the F-Type if you are still going to actually drive the car.

 

What wheel widths and tire dimensions are you running? Are the tires composed of a softer than normal compound?

 

21"x 9" front, +32mm offset; 21" x 10.5" rear, +25mm offset.
265/30-21" front, 305/25-21" rear, Michelin Pilot Sport 4s
Not sure if the tires are softer than "normal", but they are much smoother, stickier, and quieter than the Pirellis.
Going up in wheel size typically increases weight, and combined with the lower aspect ratio of the tires, negatively affects impact harshness, braking, ride, etc., but these wheels were lighter than the original 20" Gyrodynes, and the tire superior to the Pirellis, so overall I saw improvements.

I couldn't be happier

 

Side effect of (too?) big wheels, and which I do not like, is that it makes your brake discs look tiny, as if they are too little for the car...

 

Yeah, when I got the Vorsteiners they only came in 21's, fortunately the ride is as good as it was on the OEM 19's and the steering is actually better, but I expect that is because I have michelins on it as opposed to the OEM P zeros. But the guys who sourced the Vorsteiners for me (shout out to Rollingstock Oz, awesome) said they wouldnt recommend going over 21's on the car, for the ride and the steering issues.

 

Thanks Bruce!
I found the Rollingstock web page (not easy, a few blind alleys) and the EXACT wheels I hunger for after looking but not finding for years and years - these ones in 21": http://www.rollingstock.net.au/wheel...re-series-r10/
So I have submitted a quote request form and if they are a reasonable price (and I can also get MPS4S 21" for a good price) I might pull the trigger.

 

Agreed.
And the brakes in that pic are the biggest OEM ones you can get on the F-Type other than the CCM, 380 mm front and 376 mm rear, and they still look small.
If you fitted those rims to a "base" with the 355 mm front and 326 mm rear brakes the brakes would look like kiddie car toys.

 

Agreed, the brakes on my rears look like bottle tops, fml

 

This tire setup has a 0.3" difference in tire diameter, which is too high for an AWD car. It can lead to damage to the AWD system. Using 255/30/21 fronts would be better with the 305/25 rears because they are just 0.1" different front to rear.

 

Quote just came in, $12,450 AU.
And that is just for the wheels sans tyres.
I reckon I will pass!

 

Strewth! The Vorsteiners were $6600 with tyres (MPSS's)

 

You make a good point, and one that I hadn't considered before. Had I checked the overall diameters I would have selected the 255/30 fronts.
After seeing your post I did some research and found that if there is a large difference between diameters, the computer can read it as one end has less traction and is slipping, and will transfer the torque to adjust. Considering the F-Type biases the torque heavily to the rear, and the smaller rear diameter tires would "look" like they are slipping ever so slightly, it might adjust the clutches to transfer the power to the front wheels.
I know this is a real issue with Subarus, but I don't know if the Jag diff would try to correct this difference (1.1% in diameter). If it does, it should result in premature wear of the diff, and I would assume, poorer gas mileage. Mileage sucks on this car regardless, so I don't know if I would see this, but if I see any service issues I will definitely notice it!

 

doesn't look too good either...

Looks quite atrocious IMO.
