here they are, I had a lot of requests for pics of them. will take more tomorrow in daylight.

Damn that looks clean, need rear shots please!

i always thought yours was among the nicest looking cars on here. those wheels go with the car a lot better than your previous. some shots to see the width would be nice. how did you cram all that wheel in there? what are your offsets etc? i will need wheels before long as the chrome on mine has had it (stock wheels).

is your grill factory? i like the chrome center and wouldnt mind picking up a used one like yours or just the center, also used.
my car is silver too and has chrome bumper trim so an all chrome grill may be too much. the black center bugs me a little, more so when looking at pics of it, and the different grill center would clean it up a bit.

Ill get them tomorrow during the day, I was dark out when I took these, so I had to take them in my garage.

Thanks, Rear wheels are 18x9.5 with a 60mm offset. Front are 18x8 with a 46mm offset.

My grill is a 04 LSE grill, it is stock. Most of these grills are one piece, very few and rare 2 piece grills out there, so you need to find the entire grill in chrome and have the outer part painted to match your car.

sexy

I think you've had enough wheels. What's that like your 18th set? Rehab for you.

what lowering springs are those?

I think he still has still has the Intrax springs on his car

LOL!! Im addicted, I was just about to pick up another set this week. I may just hold off. Wheels are like shoes to me, I need a new set for each week, hehe.

Yes, these are the Intrax springs.

Better Pics....

Thats hot hot hot.

Man but I think you are off on the offsets. Mine, the fronts are 60 the rears are 50.

What kind of tires are the new ones? Sits great.

I love the way the rear sits. The front not so much, as it's like my car...wheels look a little bit further in the wheel wells. Still looks awesome though!

very nice choice of wheels. perfect for the color. A+

I could be off but a 9.5" wheel with a 50 offset would not fit the LS. I think your offsets are right but you have them flipped:

Front should be 50
Rear should be 60

I am using Continental SportContact 2 tires.

Thanks, I will be spacing out the front a bit more in a few weeks.

I am working on a supercharger project for the LS now and want to get that going now that the warmer weather is coming.

I forsee... Supercharger gets scraped, 6 more sets of wheels will be purchased.


How come you wanna do an s/c versus a turbo kit?

LOL!!

I bought 2 professionally made turbo kits for cars in the past and they have both been nightmares. Turbos run so hot its crazy, last car I had, it melted the brake fluid resovoir and started all of my spark plug wires on fire while I was on the highway. I will never consider a turbo again as a aftermarket project. I will only buy a turbo car from the factory.

You didn't happen to weigh one of those rears did you?

Tire, wheel or both?

I might take one off tonight or tomorrow to repair a lug bolt, so I can weigh it then.

Both. Tire on wheel.

No problem, Ill let you know definitely by Sunday. I hope to get time tonight to work on her.

Don't go out of the way to do it. But if ones coming off anyway. I'm digging the fatty look. I like my 20 alot thou.

Very streamline, best offsets i've seen on an LS.

I have to change out a lug bolt anyway so I can weigh them no problem, You want it with or w/o air? hehe

I like the fatty look too. I love my 19's but for some reason these have a certain look I like to them. These wheels are very light too, WAY lighter than my 19's.

Thanks,
There are 3 LS's on here now running these Jag S-Type R wheels.

You should throw a rear on the front to see how it fits/if it rubs. The fronts do sit in a little and with my LSE skirts stickin out it might look odd, the stockers do IMO.

Fatties all around would be badazz...

Another member asked me to do that over the winter, but I wasnt going to go work in my garage when it was 0 degrees out. I may give that a shot this weekend too to see how it looks.

I bet it looks great. You'll be buying to more fatties I bet:D

How much room does the rear have? 315/30?

How much room does the rear have? 315/30?

Ill check that for you too, but Im guessing not much more than the 285, maybe 295?

The rolled under look is good. Just thinking 285 up front something wider in back.

What wing do you have? Also what do those wheels run price wise?

its the 02 LSE spoiler. I paid $1200 for the wheels brand new.

What all do you have to do to mount the wing? Also where did you get the wheels from?
Thanks Ryan

You didn't happen to weigh one of those rears did you?

Just weighed 1 rear wheel/tire and it came out to 50.2 LBS. Pretty light considering how much tire is on there.

Thanks Ryan

The wing is on with double sided tape, that is how they come from the factory as well.

I bought the wheels new from a wholesale Jaguar dealer just like we have Team Ford and Five Star Ford as our sponsors on this forum.

Does the Dealer have a website?
Thanks Ryan

I got those tires on my 330i, they look great, but they get freaking noise after 15000 miles.

I am pretty sure the front 18x8 wheel is the same as LS stock wheel 60, if I remember correctly the rear is 50. I am gonna check next time I have the wheels off :cool:

Im lucky to get 2 seasos out of a set of tires, so Im not too worried about them. I eat tires for breakfast. hehe.

On my lowered LS, I wouldnt go more than the 285 I have. Its cutting it close to the fender as it is. A 295 or 305 might work on a non-lowered LS.
