F-Type rims

What is the best site for shopping for rims and actually seeing the rim on the F-Type in a real time internet picture. Want to see what they look like on the car.
Also, please explain a bit about the staggered approach to fitting a tire/rim. I know what it looks like, but experiences/challenges and how you overcame them appreciated.
Thanks

Can't help you with the real time images unfortunately, but we do have some F Type wheels available with tires. If any of these are of interest please give me a shout.

If you google F-Type and click on images you can likely find any of the factory rim combos on your coloured car in an actual photograph. The configurator on the Jag website is terrible.
As far as where to get them, Midwest Wheel and Tire in Michigan has been great to deal with. I deal with Brendan when I call. Here's the link.

Staggered fittiment involves fitting a different size wheel and tire to the drive wheels of a vehicle. Usually only on RWD and with the width (sometimes diameter), the purpose is to increase the contact patch and therefore grip.
If you're looking for aftermarket wheels, it's going to be tough unless you go custom due to the relatively rare bolt pattern/PCD (5x108mm). I think tirerack or maybe america's tire has a tool to view cars with the wheels on. They only stock TSW and Conventry AFAIK.

As long as you stick with any of the OEM front and rear sizes and offsets, there should be no problem. There are no issues to overcome unless you start playing with wider tires and different offsets.
For example, I have an OEM 20" set I bought from Midwest Tire and Wheel on my base car that came with staggered 18's. They fit exactly the same as on an R.
And BTW, Midwest and Brendan are terrific to deal with. I'm aware of about a dozen forum members have purchased from them and haven't heard of a single negative experience.
