Oh I feel you Biggie. An easy fix though would be to upgrade the brakes a bit. Maybe new rotors and pads. Get some real nice brake fluid like brake glue or something(think thats what it's called) Then you wouldn't have theat issue and you would still look big pimpin. There is always a way around any problem. With a little creativity and a ton of patience you can make anything work.

 

True ture! I guess I'm just a bit traumatized. I think 18's will do for me!

 

Yeah I changed my mind too.

I was going to get 19's I will probably be getting 18's with some fatter tires... probably like 255/45/r18 in back and 235/45/r18 in front..

Do you guys thing a +38 offset will do on the 2000 S-type jags??? LMK

Also... my car is lowered... so I don't want any tires less than 45mm in height

LMK

 

I just have one thing to say.....BUrp!.......man that beer was good!

 

255 sounds like a bit much, bit with the right offset and fender roll, it should do. Don't lower the car though, because rubbing would be an issue even with 1 passenger!

 

Can you post a pic of car? I would like to see your wheels. Howmuch did you pay to have yourfenders rolled? What size tires are you running? Thanks

 

Does anyone know what the proper offset on our s-type's ranges from??? do you guys think I can put on +35??

LMK

I think on the S you can have a pretty wide tire, cos on the S-type R's they come stock with a 275/45/18s on the rearif i remember correct

 

Yeah, but the suspension on the STR warrants such a wide tire!

 

I've got 245/35r20's and as soon as i figure out how i will put pictures up. As for rolling the fenders you can go to pretty much any body shop and pay about $30 each fender or take a small bat or hammer and role them yourself. Be careful if you do it so the paint wont crack. I messed up one fender doing that.

 

Yo! I have a 2000 S type with 20in 225/35,20 tires and I have no problems at all...
