S Type R- aftermarket wheels- 19's or 20's?
#41
Best way to go is lower the car. A 25 series tire is considered your "rubber band" tire. this is tipicly what you would run on a 20" set up. I have 19" staggered wheels on my S-type. That were made 5x112. I drilled them to my bolt pattern. I'm currently running a 35 and 30 series tire and practically off road the things in the pot hole ridden down town LA. They work fine for me!!! If I were to run a 40 series to try to fill in the wheel gap the tire would be way to big. I lowered mine and love it.
In Fact I'm selling my rims, tires, and lowering kit. They are 3 months old, perfict condition. The tires have 90% on them. Your car will look like mine if you buy them. I'm selling them for $1100 and can ship all over the world. The springs I'm selling for $300.

That does look good Nipped, do you have any straight on side pics ?
I like the 18" that came on my R,,,,, just wish they made 40 and 45 tires to fit them. With the R wheels already extra wide,,,, I think allot of folks would rather just buy a little taller tire than have to buy tires and wheels.

Caravella
Staggered 19" Caravella wheels. In my opinion it looks awesome. Contemplating dropping the car an inch, although im gonna be precariously close to those tires.
For anyone thinking about these, keep in mind they do have a different offset. about 10mm further out, pushing you to the limit before there is rubbing on top of fender. This can be good if you enjoy seeing your wheels flush with the car body.
20 inches and low profiles are a must, more road noise and a harsher ride is the result. 19 inches fills in well and you maintain the jags comfortable ride.

Finally found them used on ebay and remanufactured later. Overall it costs me about $2k for the `like new` set w/o tires.
And the tires are Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta 245/30/20 all around.
