don't laugh at the pillars :D
 
Looks good minus the chrome on the bumper and the pillars haha.

Also looks perfectly fine at stock height. Yes it'd look better lowered but it looks normal as is. One thing is your car looks like its so high because the skirts and lower front and rear bumpers are black/charcoal colored. Getting that painted the color of the car would instantly make your car look lower to the ground. IMO.



But the wheels look awesome. I wasn't sure how's they look but they turned out great

looks good man. A drop will be clutch with these! I'm surprised at how beefy 245/40s look. Looks like a lot more tire than 245/35s

I have 3 Lincoln centers that will fit those wheels. $25 shipped. Youll need to find the 4th on ebay lol

I plan on painting the chrome bumper and grille. I want to take the pillars off but its tough to do when its 40° outside.

Sold. Shouldn't be too hard to find 1 on eBay.
 
I like it. Pic #4 continues to catch my eye. Nice look indeed.
 
my speedometer used to be 5mph fast. now it's dead on. The car must have been tuned to 17" wheels but came with 16s.
 
The car looks nice and clean and wheels complement it nicely. Center caps and pillar chrome deletes would be nice.
 
got your caps mlara.

Question. Are they supposed to fit flush or does this look right?

Looks right for the Jag wheels. My Lincoln center caps on my Tucana wheels fit just like that.
 
Caps make them look 10x better. Retake picture #4 now that you have the caps and that'll be a really nice shot.
 
Glad you got them ok. Thats how they should sit...or at least thats how they've looked on all the jag wheels i've had in the past.
 
Those wheels look better on the LS than they do on the Xjs. Maybe because i was never fan of the older XJs, but that's besides the point.

They look great!
 
Looks a lot better with the center caps. Now just back further away and show us the whole photo, not just a tight crop :)
 
The Jaguar caps are beveled on the back edge where as the lincoln ones are square and have some protruding nipples on them. I had to cut these nipples off on the back side of the cap so that it would sit flat on my Jag wheels without a gap, but will eventually take a dremel to the back outer edge and bevel it so they sit more flush like the Jag caps do.
