Well, here they are people.

I have been very excited about these wheels, checking here, there, dealers, if they are gonna fit our LSs or no. . . So they did.

18x9.5 in the back and 18x8 in the front.

So I was looking for them on Ebay to pop up and there one night BAAMMM!!! brand new (not refinished or anything) set with buy it now great price. First minute I saw them, I was hooked to buy.

Just picked em up this morning and tried the important, impossible to fit 9.5 inch wheel in the back and guess what?? It fits like a champ!! There is clearance in the back and in the front.

Gotta get some tires though, in few days... 245/40/18 in the front and 275/35/18 in the back.

Later, maybe some droppin' action goin' on.

and lincoln center caps!!!!!!!!!!!! bad a$$!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! how much did they cost?!!? i assume more pics when tires get on, eh?
 
Can't wait to see them "fully"on the car, but anyhow, they look good. I hope once you get the tires on everythign will still clear. Good luck and hurry up with those tires.:D
 
I Love those wheels! I priced them @ the local Jag dealer and they quoted me like $800 a piece! So I hope you didnt pay that much. great find
 
Believe it or not, I paid $789 for all of them shipped. Thanks to that seller.

Yea, the tires will clear no problem.
 
that's gonna be tight once the rubber's oon it...

it will be nice when it's done!!!
 
I thought the LS was gone man, glad to see you decided to stick with it. I thought your fav. Jag wheels were the 10 spoke ones, youve been talking about those for a while now. looks good.

hey bro, ya i haven't posted any new pics for a while, had some financial problems but the LS is pretty much done now. A guy is supposed to come by tomarrow or day after and pick it up to get it painted, but im goin to russia for a month next week, so i wont get to see it tell then, but once im back i'll be sure to post some pics!
 
Pretty cool. Those would be the 18" option if there was one available for the LS...or a "R" model.

Did you know the centers would work before you got them?

275 on 9.5 is pretty chubby. With the 35 you'll have alot of wheel well gap and may not rub because of it...but lowered or loaded I have to think they will even with some room made.
 
No, I didn't know about the center caps, they do fit, they are not exactly made for these wheels, but they fit alright.

Well the 275/35 is the stock tire size on the S-type R and they don't rub. I have seen couple of lowered S-type Rs on the net and I am hoping that they aren't rubbing either. Well at least they shouldn't as long it's original tire size.

I looked at the wheel well of the Jaguar S-type and S-type R before I bought these, and I compared them to the LS's. They are exactly the same, even the fender liner is almost the same, but at the outer lip, the LS is a little wider, about 1/3" more space than Jags.

I'll probably get some tires soon, I got few unscheduled things to pay, but I am thinking I'll have em on next week.

wow that is going to look awesome, if there is another deal like that let me know i will be all over it. With a lowered LS that is the perfect look especially with the 9.5" tires in the back!!
 
Anxious to see these with rubber installed, keep us posted! I anticipate hotness!!!
 
nice artur. i know after this there's going to be a post by you...."installed the lowering springs this week" coming soon, lol. i know you had the 20's on there before but i'm sure now it'll ride a lot smoother. good luck with them
 
That's awesome that you got Lincoln centercaps for them! :hump:
 
Yea, thank you people. I'll try to hurry up and get some tires soon.

The center caps are from my stock 17" wheels.
