Default 2000 XK8 with 18x9 double five wheels on all four paws(sorry, feline humor).

I like the look of factory rims with a more aggressive tire. I put the 18x9 wheels with the 255/45s on the front fully expecting them to rub. they fit well and looked good with no rubbing. I then purchased two more 18x9 rims and fitted them with 285/40s(same revs per mile as the 255s) and then added 20mm spacers to help fill out the rear wheel wells better. I do not use spacers on the front because it changes the factory wheel pivot point when you turn the steering wheel. With the extra girth I thought the car started to mark its territory but alas it was the convertible top hydraulic fluid leaking on the driveway.

It had three different brands before I replaced them all so hard to compare but they handle great and are grippy in the corners.
