Default Wheels & Tires

Hey guys, I am new to the forum. My name is AJ.

I had a quick question about the fitment of the wheels & tires I recently ordered for my 2018 Jaguar F-Type v6 (base)

20" Staggered Ferrada Wheels FR4 Silver Machined with Chrome Lip Rims
Front 20x9 +35 offset
Rear 20x11.5 +30 offset

Lexani Twenty
Front 255/35ZR20
Rear 305/30R20

Will I have any issues with the rear rubbing off? I have all stock setup currently, I was told I may need to go on H&R Lowering Springs, I want to avoid this if possible.. please let me know your thoughts

Picture of my current setup is attached.. I will do a before and after


Thanks!

No you wont have any trouble with rubbing but you probably should have gone with 265 on the front and also lets talk about the elephant in the room!!!!!

You've spent 1000's on decent wheels and then put some cheap crap tyres on them, do you not read peoples reviews or did you not have any money left
to spend on what actually keeps you on the road!!!!!!

As Timbo says, those wheel/tire sizes will all work well with any available spring set, especially the OEM setup.

thanks for the reply. Yes I know I cheaped out on tires, I should be getting pirelli sometime this summer.

Why would you go with a 265 on the front? Just curious. Thx

Im on the OEM Gyrodynes, I was glad to get off the Pirellis as they were crap from the word go,, I upgraded to 305 rears and the match fronts should be 265, ive 15mm spacers all round and lowered. But you should have went for better tires , makes a serious difference, I went for Continental sport contact 6, unreal tyre for grip wet and dry, although lots going for the Michilens think the Contis are on par with them.

Getting Pirelli's is a mistake as well. Get the Michelins.

Also advise you to drive very slowly on those crap no names until then.

The Conti’s are good. RickyJay on the forum has been running them for years all seasons.
