NEW TIRES AND RIM
Hi Guys,
I had a set of Daat D65 rims on the car with 225x40x18 tires. Hit some pot-holes and broke about a 10"s of the rim away. Car seem to always ride very hard with these tires. I decided to get all new rims and tires. Got them from the Wheel Warehouse in Cal.
They came the other day and had them installed by one of my customers who has a tire business. The new rims are by Sporza Estrada in chrome, one hell of a nice rim. Tires I changed to a Toyo Proxes 4s, 245x45x18s. The 45 made a big difference in the ride, best move was getting away from the 40s, pot-holes will kill the rims. Now I feel the Jag rides like a Jag should. The Wheel Warehouse in Cal. have a great collection of rims for a Jag.
Regards

I was thinking of getting some 19’s x 8.5 with 225/45/19’s, but I see that you are rocking some 245's, any rubbing or other issues?

RE: NEW TIRES AND RIM
Fender rolling is a process in which one makes more clearance in the fender arches of a vehicle. Typically this process allows for the use of wider/taller tires without the rubbing that normally comes with wider/taller tires. It should cost @ $40 per wheel. I think you can buy this tool and DIY, but I would rather havesome else do it, as I don't want to bend something or mess up the paint, inspite of that being the next on to do list.
