Default tire size matter??

Getting ready to buy some sweeet 18 or 19 inch riims. Is there a way, or do i have to at all, re-calibrate the speedo?? Will it automatically know the differance in speed?? Will it effect the transmission??

Anybody put bigger rims on their jag yet??

you wont have to recalibrate anything so long as the overall diameter is the same before and after changing the wheels. Also, if you go to a much larger tire diameter, youre low end acceleration will suffer.

Sorry for the long delay in responding....the rims are O.Z Galileo III 18x8 and the tire size is 225/40/18

No rubbing or hitting, even with the lowered suspension.....was lowered by 1.4 inches.....ride is stiff and excellent. Just the way I like it!

Why you going through all that trouble for? You must be bored and have some money burning a hole in your pants. The key to it all is that you MUST, and i can't over stress it, you MUST get rim with the 48mm offset...
If you don't your ride will not be the same.....but hey, you sound like you have some money.......

Website somewhat difficult to find product. Can't get a picture of the parts, but it looks like they cost the same. Seems they deal in more of a wide range of vehicles....cool stuff...wish they had more pics of the x type with their products so you can see what it looks like...

Love doing the work on my car....this way i know it's done right ;-)
