Well I was lucky enough to have my son help me today, Connor works at a well known tyre retailer so we had a ramp and necessary tools / time required.
It was off with the wheels and H&R hubcentric wheel spacers fitted and torqued correctly, wheels put back on and torqued as required. I do have to say it's only approx 13mm gain either side, but I definitely notice the difference![Icon Dance Cpatch](https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_dance-cpatch.gif)
Once I get a chance and she's cleaned up, I'll take some pics and show her as is....
Thanks
Jim

Thanks Paydase, I like it, as you say, subtle yet a definite improvement to the eye for sure.
I had a chance to test them somewhat today, road trip covered 898.3 miles
Probably around 80% of that was motorway driving, the rest was around 15% on decent A roads and the remaining 5% was country lumps n bumps and also in quarries.
No rubbing to report to date, which is good
Lowering?
Yes I'd like to, to achieve a better look, but the probability of rubbing issues etc weights too heavily on my mind. At present with so many other things to be thinking of it's way down on my list of things to look at.
