So recently today I made my first purchase after vigorous research for a rim and tire package on my XK8 . I went with a pair of 19x8.5 and 19x9.5 Eurotek 02 Hypersilvers . Wrapped in 245/40/19 in the front and 275/30/19 in the rear. I couldn't make up my mind on wether or not on 20's but for now I went with 19's because it's not going to be lowered anytime soon plus I don't want to look like one of those Donk's and someone coming up to my window for some drugs .Due to winter conditions up here in Pennsylvaniaand don't worry I don't drive the car in the snow all the time it's just in case if I do .I have a truck for all that haha this is just my weekend driver. But I will keep everyone posted on how it looks when they get here . If I don't achieve the right fitment I'm going with spacers to get it just right. Also, as I'm writing this the car is on the stock 19 inch rims with 245/40/19 on the front and a 255/40/19 on the rear.

These are the rims that I purchased:

Yeah they will look nice... they are VERY similar to the ones that I put on my car:

 

Here is how she sits today ! I'm in love with the out come!!!

 

Daaang those are some nice rims!!! waaaant!!

 

What offset? I went with same size rims but a slightly larger tire with a 35mm offset and it was perfect

 

What is the manufacturer of those rims? What tires are you running? I have the chrome atlas on Cont pro contacts and I get a lot of road feel.

 

Those rims look great. I have probably seen too many episodes of Pimp My Ride, but if my brakes can be easily seen through the rims, I usually paint my calipers. I figure if the manufacturers do that now, what the hay......I also put drilled and slotted rotors, with ceramic pads up front, to keep the wheels clean......beautiful coupe.....Mike

 

Wow!, those look great. Missed the offset figures? Green is GOOD :-)

 

Is that how is should be? Not 18'? Cause on mine is 245/45/18 front and 255/55/18 rear.

 

When I upgraded I went 255 in front and 285 on rear on 19*8.5 and 19*9.5" rims respectively. You are right on original size I believe
