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??

RE: tire size matter??
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!

OZ Galileos are nice. I was thinking of getting those but wanted 19 by 8.5s. Should have it installed in the next couple weeks with KW coilovers. Anyone know if 8.5 rims with 235 tires AND lowered (1.4") will rub? I'm guessing the fenders need rolling.

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.......

RE: tire size matter??
Thanks for the advice. Don't worry I'm not turning the car into a clown. I have the option of changing wheel types if I deem these won't work out. I'm just as concerned with the ride as with looks.
Good choice with the ardens. But i have more experience with kw suspension so thats what i'm going with. But won't know how it will be with this car until its installed.

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...

RE: tire size matter??
I would have done it myself if I actually knew what to do. Anyways I'm having it installed on tuesday so hopefully i can post up some pictures of before and after. And by the way, only the front struts are height adjustable, cause apparently there is no room for the rear suspension for a traditional adjustable coilover kit. So the rears are NON adjustable and lowers 1.4 in. I would have just gone eibach pro-system if anyone actually had a set in stock...
