ok i will purchase a jag this week and i want to put 20"s dub on them. yes im a bling bling freak since i live in Cali!!! ok first off what lug patterns are the 2000 s-type 3.0? what size will you guys recomend for me? i know the should fit cuz i find a lot of people from cardomain.com having them on their car but i just want to be careful and do it right the first time not the second time. to me i was thinking of something like 20x9 with 245/40 series tires if it is possible without any rubbing issues or am i gonna have to go with 245/35? the reason i dont like 245/35 is that its too thin and dont want to bend the rims on big potholes. since its rear wheel drive am i gonna have to stagger them or is all the same size rims ok?

 

agreed, 20s are too big...even with 19s, the tires are 35 in the front and 30 in the rear....if you went with 20s you'd have 25 size tires - basically rubber bands around the rims

I'm considering 19 inch wheels ....245/35/19 front, 275/30/19 rear. Does anyone have a similar setup? Is this enough tire? Or should I go to 18 inch?

Thanks

 

20s Fit Perfect and I have ZERO rubbing issues. In fact Im selling my20s right now. PM me if youre intersted http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2350779

These were custom built for An S type from Defy wheels. I have the hub rings and everything. They are almost new withZERO damage, not even a scratch. let me know guys.

 

I'm having almost the same issue..don't know if i should get 19" or 20" any recommendations???

 

I'm curious how much you are asking as well....I have a black STR and am looking at black wheels. However, when asking even the most reputable wheel manufacturers in the country, they tell me that even some brands of 19" have rubbing issues, so I can't imagine those 20s are fine.

 

that one on 22's looks elevated (because it most likely is b/c increased size of wheel/tire) and I bet the speedomoter isn't accurate.....yeah sure you can mount 20" + wheels on this car, but its for show only. I don't own my STR as a show car -- I drive it everyday, and I live in the northeast where the roads are pretty lousy. As it is with my stock 18" wheels I am very very weary of uneven pavement, potholes, etc because I feel that even they aren't protected by too much rubber. As far as I'm concerned, if you're going to drive the car a lot, and have passengers in the back seat, 19" would prob be the max you could get away with...and I'm not even sure I'd go that big. If you want to just leave your car parked and show it off, go put dubs on it....if you want to drive it, you will have a shitty ride.

 

i guess 19"s it is then!!
