Yesterday, I got the delivery of the new wheels for the Jaguar to replace the bent stock set. I think these actually blend into the car super well. The stock wheels were a bit too bright. Also, props to my friend Tamiko for meeting up for some social distancing photos.

Those both look fantastic and are 1 inch too big at the same time.

I feel like in the first shot, side on, they look a bit too big, but in the last shot they look juuust right.

Without a doubt looks great.

If I’m being picky, next time you buy tires go slightly wider on the rears.

Maybe 1 size wider tire would do it, but I still think an extra inch of rubber would do it.

I’m generally a fan of the chonky tire look, my 275/55/20s on my truck are borderline rubber band for me.

My supra I went 235/45/17 on an 8 wide wheel.

Those look great!  You should put some tires on them soon though.  Running on just the wheels is really bad... :-P

It’s t he stock size for the R (20). The base F-Type came with 18s. It definitely gives concept car vibes with the 20s. Technically, 21s fit just fine but whyyyy.

I wish I could. It's hard to find a tire that works in this staggered setup. The rears could accommodate a slightly wider tire if I could find one. I hate running two different types of tire front and rear.

They are already 295s. If I went to a 305, I'd have have to run staggered brands and reprogram the ECU.

I meant no disrespect, I think it looks good overall.  And love the wheel design, it really compliments the car.

Once I get my Volvo sorted Im trying to run 245/45R17s up front, and 275/40R17s out back.
