Here’s the setup we would be looking at:



Rims: 19x8.5 Stern ST-4 Warp black

Tires Front: 245/35/19

Rear: 275/30/19

Nexen N3000’s tires mounted and balanced



All for $1,275 shipped to your door. Thanks.

I think 275 are a little too aggressive. 245 are as wide as I would personally go with the STR. I'm not a big fan of those wheels...don't think it looks classy enough for a Jaguar but that's just my two cents.

I thought the STR had staggered width rims. Is the set you're looking at 8.5 front and rear?

it is staggered, but i dont have much to choose from. I did contact Gary at Forgiato and they have 20" available. I am not trying to drop 6grand on wheels though.
20x8.5
20x10

You know?

You are absolutely right...the STR is staggered. Sorry I only own the regular S-Type and forgot to realize that the STR were different.

You should look into the Coventry wheels.

www.coventrywheels.com/

These wheels are exclusively for Jaguars. I just ordered a set of 20's for about $1700 with ToyoTires.

Cool

[QUOTE=phd12volt;123366]/QUOTE]

...abosolutely killer in a size 18 - why ruin the ride of the car with a 20 and frankly who needs it to look like ya robbed the wheels and tires of an old soviet bloc forklift - get the black ones in 18 and maybe bump the back to 285

the advice is worth exactly what ya paid for it...

BTW that huge chrome lip would look great! I would rather have stock than the black ones.
