Has anyone tried f type alloys on the s type r? I know the rear offset is out by a bit..but I want to go 19"s and the aftermarket selection ain't great for 5 x 108 staggered atm imo....

Couple of eBay number suggestions...

Sounds like a way to buy trouble.

 

according to ferrada wheels they do . funny i was just looking at a set for mine .
apparently the Ferrada FR series can fit 20x9/10.5 FR3 and i expect FR1,FR2,FR4 5x108 +35/38 Jaguar F Type , S Type & XF .

Will they be strong enough? The STR is much heavier.

BTW potential insurance nightmare in the UK... Tougher laws still in Germany...

 

There isn't much weight difference between an f type v8 s and a str so I doubt that this would be an issue.

I just wanted to find out if anyone had tried fitting them to an s type chassis??

 

The lack of replies says it all.

It is what it is. People are not doing it.

 

Are you sure you want 19"?

I find the 18" and 20" tires/wheels to be cheaper and easier to get. Plus a wider selection of models.

Seems like the 19" diameter are not as popular.

+1^
personally id do the 20'' due to the availability of tires .
18'' are ok . but 19'' is hard work here too .
so to prove two points on the subject here is a link showing bad cattitude's STR with xfr wheels attached .

then after reading this I'm lead to believe the f type wheels do in fact fit the XF so in turn should fit the s type.

also this shows the f type front wheels to be correct fitment to the STR but no info on the rears

ok more searching came up with this for the f type rears .
no way will the rears fit the s type without a spacer .

you will have better luck with xf wheels i think .
