Thanks OSK and Evan, I had a mobile company that normally lowers Range Rovers come out and do it when I first got the car some 4 1/2 years ago ( I found the standard ride height too high for my liking), they used the jag/range rover software to put false readings into the program making the car believe it was too high resetting itself to the lower height that you see. Only negative was that the full geometry needed resetting as it was a country mile out after the lowering was done. Once all reset it's now better than original I think.

Basically the camber was miles out and also caster ( but adjusted in no probs ).
Tyres are 295 25 21s on the rear with a 10.5 inch wide wheel et50 and the fronts 255/35 21 et35. No rubbing issues at all but had to partially remove inner rear wheel arch and a fixing stud to give clearance.

Thanks - I love your car, Caldoofy, and will copy your front brake setup. Can you confirm that the front hubs are the same on my car as yours? Mine isn't an R, but has dual piston calipers. From the looks of the XFR calipers (2010), they seem to have longer mounting brackets for the larger rotors, but you may be the only one who's done this mod.
Wheels are Rosso 22x8.5 ET40 with 245/30/22 Nankang NS20. It still rides pretty good, given low profile tires and lower calibration of the air suspension.
Here is a better picture. I just snapped that one after my battle getting the MongoosePro and SDD v130 working![Smile](https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif)

Just my personal taste but I also find the 22" with that thin rubber bands and tiny discs awful.
As alecescolme says, I think that 21" are the max to go.
The setup of caldoofy is nice because he has put bigger rotors and the design of the Arden rims gives an impression of smaller empty space inside.
Sometimes I think that my 20"s are already too big... but 22"s for sure.
Anyway each one his own taste
