Hi everyone it's time for new tyres, do I need to stick to Dunlop j tyres or can I use other tyres, what is the general opinion of the best tyres to use

 

The general consensus used to be Michelin Pilot Super Sport (MPSS) but that has changed recently to Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S (MPS4S). In fact the 4S has superseded the MPSS, although you can still get the MPSS from some suppliers.
No need to stick to "J" tyres, that is pure marketing BS.
The original OEM Dunlop Sport Maxx were very ordinary and became known as "Dunslips", although by all reports they improved a lot in recent years.

 

Have you any pictures of the wheels you had on your cfr

 

If you are talking about the Coventry Whitleys I had on the XFR, see here: Whitley Jaguar Rims by Coventry.
In "hyper silver".

 

Did you have staggered fitmentvthey look nice

 

Yep, staggered.
8.5" front and 10" rear, with stock XFR tyre sizes of 255/35R20 front and 285/30R20 rear. The rear wheels have a 2.5" dish, the fronts only about 1", and the rears have a smaller negative offset than the stock wheels so they "poke" out a little more.

 

Were they expensive fancy a set of them now

 

They were not all that expensive, a lot less than most OEM 20" Jag wheels and less than most decent quality after-market ones. One of the good things about them is they are made specifically for Jags so they have the correct PCD and centre bore and they clear the 380 mm front brakes on the XFR.
I tried to get them from three different US suppliers but all three ignored my messages, in the end I tracked down a Sydney Australia supplier whose price was a fair bit more than the US suppliers, but the shipping would have been a little less. You should have little trouble finding a supplier in the UK.

 

Apparently rim stick are the uk suppliers in the uk so think i will enquire
