I am new to Jaguar Forums, excited about my recent purchase and ready to have some fun with any members in the Chicago area!

I have a 2003 S-Type 3.0 and I love it . I have already put my sound system in and I am getting ready to add rims. I purchased Helo 20's which should arrive today. I got them without tires because I am unsure which ones will fit. The dealer told me that 245/30/20 is the recommended size but the wheel shop says they wont fit. I refuse to alter the vehicle out side of lifting it a little. The guy actually wanted to shave the wheel wells down!!!!! Who does that?????

Does anyone know the correct or better size tire and has anyone lifted their vehicle for extra room? I have noticed that this car adjusts to extra weight; when I put all my music in the trunk it didnt budge an inch and my box is really heavy!! I dont want to do any damage to my car so any advice would help.

Good to have you here with us......
Hope you enjoy your time here, some great members / techs and DIY Tips


In the meantime I've upgraded you too Full forum access so you can better view the sites features

 

welcome ladydai, afraid you're only going to get some greetings in this area of the forum. For those s=type specific queries, I'd start a new thread over there and talk wheel.n.tire sizes. Keep in mind, we've got alot of 'purist' jaguar owners, i've seen blingy wheel threads meet with some disgruntled viewers and reduced support as a result.

Enjoy your stay!
