Default 20" rims?
Hey guys do 20" rims fit i see alot of s-types with them. I'am planning to get the 3.0V6 one if that makes a difference. Hows the ride? Does it rub?

Yes it fits, but don't go wider than 20x8. Ride sucks, and yes they rub if you ride people in the back!

Okay so no bigger then 20X8, my friend has 20's on his ls and it rides fine when i drove it, only rubs when you hit a pretty bad bump.

Lets not forget that you're talking about a Jag! We're not a Lincoln, where it's like riding in magic cloud! The LS's suspension is AWESOME and the ride quality is excellent, then again not sporty like the Jag's! 99% of cars will rub in a big bump, even with 16" rims! The thing is, how many passengers can the car take?

Okay so 20's are not that good of a ride if you have too many passengers, i expected that. I thought the ls and the jag were the exact same car

No way bud, the LS features an excellent air suspension that barely allows you to feel speed bumps much less insignificant small bumps on the road!

I have an LS with sport package. It doesn't have an air suspension and doesn't ride likea magic cloud. I have driven number of LSs, sport, non sport and also I have driven S-types, regular and few S-type Rs. The rides are similar. The LS and S-type wheels are interchangable. Both cars share exact same suspension and brakes. I just put S-type R wheels on my LS and they fit great, 245/40/18s in the front and 275/35/18s in the rear. No rubbing. I had 20"x8.5" wheels before with 245/35/20 tires. They rubbed only when people in the back, but I trimmed the rear fender liner a bit and had no rubbing at all.

Your car easily fit 20x8.5 on a Jag without any problems. The ride isharder then the stock 17" wheels but not very bad.

Here are some pictures of my LS when it was with 20" wheels, and now it is with 18" S-type R wheels.

The S-Type R wheels look way better then the chrome 20's IMO. Nice change

You can get 22s too, but you need a really thin tire to minimize to possibilities of rubbing and a good offset wheel. You need 245/30/22 tires and probably 22x8, 22x8.5 or22x9 wheel with 40+ offset.

Yeah...I was told that 22x8.5 or 22x9 are my only options and they need to be rw rims. It seems to be too much work from the bolt pattern to the offset.

The off-set has to be just right though! Too much or too little and welcome to rub town and new tires every 2-4 months!

I really wanted to get 22's on my jag Untill I looked at the people who actually have them on cardomain.com. To tell you the truth I think 22" rims on a jag are too much, it just doesn't look as nice.

I cant decide. The white Jag on there w/ the 22's is hard and it doesn't look like its too much, but then again the black on black Jag w/ the 20's looks classy.

Would 22x9J (not sure what the j stands for) with a 45 offset fit? Someone on craigslist is selling them, they originally were on an aviator...Also I can't seem to find a good deal on 235 30 22s, but I can find some for 245 30 22. Is that too much rubber? Thanks

Well I missed out on those 22...

I've been speaking to some rim places. To my understanding, we are on FWD rims, we use the same hubs as a taurus. On ebay you can get a set of chrome centered, polished lipped 20x9s for $598 shipped...What's the widest tire you can get put on 9" wide rims, which prevents rubbing while calulating the aspect ratio to match the stock overall diameter? Lol, did that make any sense?

No sir, well not for my S-type, I have RWD and need and offset from I believe 35-42. 9" will be cutting it close for sure. Recommended is 8, 8.5"

I know ALL s types are RWD...However there are exception to RWD having FWD rims, the older thunderbirds are an example. It appears the jag has FWD rims...Even if I'm wrong, 30+ offset is VERY high for any RWD, usually they're 20 or less, several are zero or negative. I have no idea about the width, getting mixed opinions...I don't want to buy anything until I know they fit....

You do know that the lower the number the higher the offset right?
