Default S-Type 2000 Wheel size options

I see 16", 17" and 18" wheels mentioned
in documentation about S-Type 2000 4.0 .
What are the wheel size options and what are
the advantages and disadvantages for each,
for an all-4 wheel replacement ?

The bigger ones are probably heavier, which is undesirable in terms of handling & performance. Some people think they look better.

As the rim size goes up you decrease the sidewall so as to maintain the overall diameter and in turn that means a harder ride. Some prefer that.

Is 18" the maximum ?
At what point does the wheel become too large
for the wheel compartment ?

People have put crazy sizes on. Worse and worse handling of course and more damage to suspension. Even rolled the fenders to make them fit.

Seems like Jaguar-abuse to me...

Fine.
Sitting higher has its benefits.

Another unrelated question I just remembered:
sometimes the transmission stick (gear selector lever) travel
is restricted from reaching the Park position by its housing,
only reaching Reverse position,
indicating that the connected transmission underneath it
might have rotated slightly.
Currently, shaking it a little side to side will usually suffice
to register it at Park.
What is the solution to this ?

The 2000MY (X200) jaguar was offered with 16" or 17" wheels ONLY.

All wheels are alloy except for the space saver
wheel which is steel. The space saver wheel is not
available for USA, Canada or Mexico.
There are three wheel styles:
¥ 7 x 16 Classic
¥ 7.5 x 16 Dynamic
¥ 7.5 x 17 Sport (option)
Each wheel has five exposed wheel nuts which are
smaller than current cars at 19mm A/F
Locking wheel nut policy is the same as current
sedan vehicles.

Tyres
Two sizes - three types:
¥ 225/55R16
All season (NAS markets)
Summer (European/Rest of World)
Winter (accessory)
¥ 235/50R17
Summer (European/Rest of World)
Winter (accessory)
Tyres for the European and Rest of World markets

The JTIS data does include information for the S-Type 2000
for 16", 17" and 18".
The largest option listed is the following:
8 inch x 18 inch || 245/40ZR 18 97Y Pirelli p-Zero asimmetrico || || Standard and Sport ||

The pre-facelift Sport was fitted with 18" BBS Monaco wheels on standard suspension. Sports suspension came in with the first facelift.

Actually, all later S-Type wheels fit the original cars too. Just have to have the correct tyre size to keep the rolling diameter and clearances correct. There should be no difference in ride height.

The last S-Types had the option of 19" wheels from the factory, which look too big to me on an S-Type. 18" looks just right. 16" feels slightly better and they are definitely noticably lighter.

How is there no difference in ride height ?
That is hard to figure.

As the rim gets bigger the sidewall (aka profile) is reduced. The ride gets harsher of course.

I checked with a tire retailer and they confirm this.
Apparently, the main advantage to bigger wheels
is that a wider tire may be used, which enhances turning power.
These are the strange looking expensive cars with tires
which when viewed from a distance appear to not be inflated.

The JTIS does not work on any computer with software past windows 7, which ended back in the dark ages when the Huns invaded Saxony.

The 16's were installed on 6 cylinder models and not on the 8 cylinder models. On my 2000, the manual says 18 is where you stop. Mine are the standard 17.

Interesting. In Europe, 16" Dynamic wheels were standard on both prefacelift 3.0SE and 4.0SE. The 17" Sports were options on all. Both 3.0 and 4.0 Sports had 18" BBS Monaco wheels as standard but only the V8 Sports got CATS as standard.

I understand that is false.

In any case it is also available as a PDF and online via such as TOPIx.

I am using Windows 7 64, which is the last version to contain
free Windows Media Center for TV viewing/recording/playback etc.
(including encrypted CableCard content store/playback on HDD).

In addition, for educational or technical Database-based software
like JTIS, you have to find a way of installing DAO, which
I found to be non-trivial.
Fortunately some defunct TV software I owned from ATI had
an executable which specifically installs DAO
(Jet Data Access Objects).

Thanks for clearing that up!

I have JTIS on W10.

What am I doing wrong? I can't get to load on 8 or 10. Any advice is appreciated.

I'm not the guy to help with the install problems. Did you see this?

From this thread........... https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/g...s-65926/page4/

Downloaded JTIS21 X_Type.part1.exe and JTIS21 X_Type.part2.rar

Ran the part1.exe. It extracted files...lots of them.
It created a folder call JTIS21 X_Type and inside that folder was the dao350.dll

Copy the dao350.dll
Paste it into:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\microsoft shared\DAO
(you'll probably see a dao360.dll there already...that's ok)

Click your start button....go to Windows System...when it expands RIGHT-click on Command Prompt and choose Run as Administrator.

you can probably copy and paste this, but.....run this command in that command prompt window:

C:\Windows\SysWOW64\regsvr32.exe "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\microsoft shared\DAO\dao350.dll"

Now go to your JTIS entry in your start menu and run it.

I think in order to see some of the photos, you'll need to install the windows help system which I haven''t done yet, but this DID show me the diagrams and procedure when I looked up changing a starter.

I'll look at installing the help system, but that should get you started (pun intended)

There's always a VM install I suppose.

Also, a single use would probably justify the cost of buying a used PC (desktop or laptop) with an old Windows just for JTIS.
