Hi, At dhe moment I`m driwing XK8 + supercharger on old and unstable suspension.
I`ve bought all repair parts already. They will be fited with paramount lowering springs, Koni Sport special ajdustable shocks to front and bilstein HD for back.
The car is on 17inch wheels. I`m planning to keep them for winter and buy 19 inch BBS montreal rims. What do you think about it. How big rims can I use to fill some comfort?
Any expierecne, advices??

Br, Fishman.

 

stock 19" montreal rims would be perfect for that setup. The 20's, though widening it another 1 inch front and rear, would make for a less comfortable ride with the stiffer springs/shock combination. Remember, you can always bump it out a bit by adding a custom spacer that are made in 5 mm increments, if you see the need...but I think your 19" plan will be perfect.

 

Thanks.
I know about 19" rims from XJ thanks to you. https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/s...ead.php?t=1708

I`m just not sure if my gold XK8 cabrio will look good on this rims. I can not imagine this car on that wheels... I was trying to find picture with such a set up but no luck... Aren't they to fancy??
Another think is that I`m a little bit afraid that there will be to many problems with BBS rims. Aren`t they to easy to damage? (the trim rings )

Apollo looks much more strong.

What is your opinion?

Br, Marcin.
