Default 2007 S-Type Owner From Australia

Hey Guys, owner of 2007 S-Type V6. Using this forum for insights on modifications and to potentially help others to the best of my ability.

A bit about my car...
Currently have my S-Type on 20" Vertini Hennessy's 8.5" on 245s all round. Slight rubbing issue on the top rear fenders/guards against the rear tyres with 3 or more people in the car. Looking into fender rolling and flaring in order to prevent this issue and possibly allow more room for lowered suspension as it sits a tad high on 20s. Will post a thread in nearer future regarding the rubbing issue and whether its worth lowering but until now, just making my presence known on the forum.

Pictures of the S-Type attached in links.
- Marco

Welcome to Jaguar land.

Nice looking S.

i would take time and consider the lowering, as the speed humps etc here in "downunder" are terrible. Looks lower than standard anyway in the snaps??.

Thank you Grant,

we do have crazy roads for sure haha! I think the wheels being 20s create that illusion filling out the fender/guard more making it appear lower then standard but it is certainly abit raised in terms of the ground to the body. A nice inch and abit drop would level it nicely.
