yeah, I'm tying to think of future options for my next set of tires. I have 20" sepangs now and like the look, but I think I'd prefer the ride of some 19"s. I also want to go wider though. I'd also like to keep same size though front and rear for rotation purposes. Was there any fitment issues with the front tires? Beavis, you said you had to trim the inner arch, how close was the outer wheel arch to the wheel/tire? |
@Muddybear - loads of space toward the outer wheel arch. Over on the uk forum several of the chaps have larger tyres while protecting the rolling circumference. Suggest you take a look, full of good stuff.
Can I get 295's under the back of the XJR? I'm Herculesuk1 on the UK forum. |

Here are my vehicles I entered at our local club concours last May. Getting one vehicle ready is a lot, two is just brutal.

Pic of the xjr
https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/a...ine=1395681500 @muddybear I'm running 255s on the front and 285s on the rear on the standard cremona alloys with no issues and no mods to anything, rolling circumference is within tolerance ( same setup as the xkr). |
Very nice Caldoofy :icon_rally:

Also, does anybody know how wide of a tire you can run on the front? |
Standard XJR cremonas, so both the same size and offset, the xk ones catch due to different offset. When i said xkr setup i was referring to tyre sizes.

Thanks for clarifying. Have you ever tried putting the wheels with the 285's on the front to see how they'd clear. If it can fit, then I think I'd rather have all 4 wheels be 285's. |

Been thru a few, starting with a 96 VDP, 74 E-Type, 99 XKR, a few S-Types including one STR and now one I have been watching since it came out, a 2006 Super V8 Portfolio. Not the best pics, but you get the idea

How about a pair of X350's

Here is my XJ6 (X350) 3 litre V6 Sovereign in pearlescent jaguar racing green with 20" sepang alloys - Purchased the car in December 2013 and have since added a mesh grill. Future upgrade will be fitment of U.S spec font & rear side marker lights.
Over the past week or so a slight vibration was creeping in to the cabin via the steering wheel and seat so I had all 4 wheels re-balanced and filled with nitrogen - problem solved - nice and smooth again. |

Thought I'd throw my 350 in to the mix... Not great pictures, but they do look good on the computer/ipad screen.

Nice and clean Casper, What kind of finish is that on your wheels?

If I am not wrong it is Duplicolor Graphite with the Duplicolor clear on it. Close up it is pretty rough because on the day I paint I don't know how but some moisture seep on it and the surface is gritty and some is smooth, Need to redo in the near future.
