Frankly, the fascination with bigger and BIGGER and B I G G E R wheel totally eludes me. I have to wonder if its becoming a "Whoever has the biggest wheels, wins" type of thing.
Soon enough the only focal point on the car is the wheels.....and too many of them do not compliment Jaguar styling.
Just my lousy opinion![Big Grin](https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)

I´m whith you on that i saw an bmw 3 series with 22 inch wheels and that looked rediculus but i think that 20" wheels look just fine on an bigg newer jag 17-18 inches looks realy good on the xj series 1-3 I tried some celtics on an XJ6 series 1 once and that looked realy stunning
Rims look better then tires so you should go as far you can whithout changing the rolcircumsize of the wheel then you have it by the way the xj40 came whith 215/65/15 And the 245/35/20 is almost the same around so then it shouldnt be to big

The wheels on the XJ40 was RH NAJ and they were 9x20 front and 10x20 rear the tires were nankang nsII in 245/35/20 front and 255/35/20 rears the wheelarches was rolled in the rear and the front fenders widened by aprrox 25mm but the wheels were space out to clear the Brembo brakes from an XJR sold the car with the rims and brakes and everything you can imagine for 22,000 sek (swedish kronor about 2500$)
