I just went up to 20" wheels and put on 265/35/20 in the front and 305/30/20 in the back.
No sidewall issues...very much "on rails" and saved about 5 lbs over other tires....shockingly actually. Quiet and smooth. Took almost no weights ...the tpms probably is what caused the weights to be used. Really nice tires. Great on 1" of snow (all I have had to test so far at 2 weeks).
My all year tire. For the street...they are superb. In rain they are amazing...even very cold weather amazing.....
The larger size give a lot of rim protections. No spacers...stock forged Jaguar 20" wheels with the above sized rubber. Also not throwing rocks into the paint (what spacers can promote...prior cars...):

I also found the Continental tread life warranty is halved for staggered wheels. That is about 6 years for me (time for new tires regardless) but may be more significant to others
I purchased my 2020 f-type R in September 2021. It had less than 6000 miles on the factory P-zero tires. Within a month both front tires developed sidewall bubbles and had to be replaced. As I was not the original purchaser (I am the second owner), the tires were not covered by any warranty. Normally I would have switched to a different brand, but with so few miles on the car I didn’t want mismatched tires installed. I will not be installing Pirelli tires ever again.
I had numerous sets of DWS tires and all were consistent except one set that wore down very prematurely (5k and bald) - unlike most on the forum, I am not enamored with Michelin’s and had issues with a set of PS4S tires on the f-type so I went to firehawk indy’s, but I do have the new AS 4’s on my challenger and my initial impression is good, Car can be difficult to handle, but the Michelin’s do hold better than the fairly worn Mickey Thompson’s I removed. My experience with Michelin has either been really good or really bad, but I have had 6 sets of continentals, including my pickup, and they were very consistent and delivered the performance expected.
How did you like the Indy’s on your F Type?
I ran them on a much lighter car in the past and I seem to recall liking them. Wondering if might give them a second go-around as my next set.
I don't drive a lot of miles, but the ride is super smooth and they have performed well. I could not get the Michelins to work and the Firehawks were like $750 installed after rebates and promotions, so I figured I didn't have much to lose. The Michelin AS4's have been great thus far - way more grip than expected and they keep the car planted better than expected.
