F-Type R Coupe - Wheel Adaptors
#21
I'm running 305's and plan on installing 17mm spacers/adapters in a few weeks... but first am having the lips on my rear fenders manipulated to achieve the appropriate 5mm of additional clearance. Will report back what was done and if successful when all is said and done.
Has anyone running 17mm spacers with OEM 295 tires had any issues with rubbing?

Unless the manipulation consists of cutting a fair amount of the lip off, but be advised that there is a another thicker lip under what you can see there, if you stick your finger in there you can feel it.

Best of luck and I hope it'll work, but at close to full compression it'll rub.

I wonder if its not worth the headache and leaving it stock, or wait until I burn through the 305's and go back to 295's and that's even if I keep the car that long. I just replaced the tires about 200 miles ago.

I fitted 17s with stock 295s and have had no issues whatsoever. Drivers of low slung cars become accustomed to looking out for potholes and never go offroading so achieving full compression is a very rare event. Yes there might be a unexpected dip in the road and if travelling at sufficient speed, you could achieve full compression but I haven't had it happen yet, thankfully.
In any case, I'm now selling up and returning the car to stock to the spacers are up for sale on here to anyone that might be interested - https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/p...0/#post1752449
