Default My wheels...

I went with the OEM Jaguar's 19" s OEM chrome. What do y'all think? I had these for about two years now, but I never posted pics before and as far I know I'm the only S-type with this set up. Personally I didn't want 20's riding on rubber bands for wheels also I think deep dish should be reserved for pizzas. My wife drives this car alot she had back surgery so I didnt want the ride being harsh. Now it rides like a caddy as I cant feel any bumps, potholes, or anything else. I had the tyres filled with nitro.

Do you have any rubbing at all? I have 245/40/19 in the front and 275/35/19 in the back, and it's terrible.

At first the front wheels rubbed, when I turned, so I had the plastic wheel wells cut. Once in a while I put someone in the back seats and I will hear what sounds like rubbing, but the tyres don't show any signs of rubbing. Also my suspension is stock. Did you lower yours?

Stock suspension Here, but my rear tire is wider than yours.

I hate the way it looks sidewall wise, and it rubs. I have a shake issue otherwise I'd go back to the rubber bands.. I have a line on some 235/35/19's that should do the trick.
