Hi All

I am a new XK8 owner very pleased to have one after a long search. However the car has 20s and makes for a very hard ride on the country roads around me. Would dropping down to 18s help and if so where might these be found.

 

I think the more rubber between the wheel and the road makes a softer ride..

Welcome to the forum Tintenbar,

Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums.

I had a 2001 XK8 Coupe on 18 inch Impeller followed by a 2005 XK8 Coupe on 20 inch Sepang wheels. The difference in ride quality was extraordinary with the 20 inch being so much harsher. Never again! My current XK is on 19 inch Carelia which is a good compromise.
