Looks great, would look even better if there was a nitrous bottle in your trunk...

Whose car is that? I would like to contact him or her about the rears to see what jaguar they were meant for bc Coventry wheels does not offer staggered wheels for the STR and I would like to know which ones they were meant for that work on our cars. Thanks!

Mine 245/30/20 front 275/30/20 rear

The issue is on the rears you have to run a spacer to clear the brake caliper. I'm not a fan of it but that is the only way. Speaking of which, does anyone know where I can get longer wheel studs?

Did Coventry (TSW) start offering them in staggered for the STR then? Or did you get rears made for the XKR and run spacers? Can you please see my thread linked below and comment? I had thought I had exhausted my research I cast wheels on this matter...

Yes, these are 20x8.5 front and 20x10 in the back. I will have to get the dimensions of the spacers as I am unsure of the thickness, but they barely clear the brake caliper in the back (fronts are fine). I'm not a huge fan of this style of spacer, and I do want to get some longer bolts if I can find them.

I bought these wheels second hand, so I don't know the offset, but I bet they are made for the XKR. You are correct that you can run those wheels, but you need to push them out a bit.

I still need to roll my fenders and have a bit more negative camber added to the rear (to make the outside, top edge of the tire tuck in better.

Default Those rims look very familiar

Looks great!!!! "second hand". Don't do me like that. At least try to be as kind as my wife and describe me as satisfactory.

As soon as I get pics of mine with your old rims, I will post.
