I'm trying to find pics of LS's on 19s that are not lowered. I'm just wondering if its going to sit too high?

I feel I’ve owned enough of these, and there is enough interest among the community that I wanted to get this “database” sort of speak, going that explains which wheels fit, with what equipment, and of course their specs. Rolling has a similar thread going but I wanted this one to be specific to OEM/OEM style Jag wheels because…well… I’m biased LOL. I love Jag wheels because they allow us to upgrade the looks of our cars without taking away from the classy/luxurious/ stock look of the LS. Hope this can help someone and eliminate the need for any new “will these jag wheels fit?” threads.


Senta Wheels (From 09 XF)
***Originally came equipped on Jag vehicles with 8.5” fronts and 9.5” rears. THE REARS WILL NOT FIT. You need 4 Fronts, 8.5”s all around. Replicas were also available from usarim.com, 8.5”s all around, but currently out of stock. ***

Size: 20x8.5
Offset: 49
Tire: 245/35

Equipment:
OEM Sport Struts
Eibach Pro Kit Lowering Springs

* Minor rubbing at full lock and major dips.
*Others have used 245/30’s and 255’s. Maybe they will Chime in with their experiences.

Tucana Wheels ( From XJ8)

Specs:
Size—18x8
Offset—49
Tire—Currently using 225/45 front and 245/45 rear.
*Love the look in the front, not so much the rear. Too much sidewall, will be likely going with 255/40’s in the summer time.

Here you go.
The first 3 are at stock height, the 2 after that are the same car and wheels lowered.
 
Sentas are 20s

Look up tmoney. He has pics with 19s and stock height on his 06
 
It NEEDS to be lowered with 19's or 20's.
I just picked up some 19's and will not put them on till I lower the car.
Its amazing how much of a difference 1" can make (thats what she sad).
 
The wheel gap with 19's is very similar to stock.
 
It looks like the 19's actually raise the car up about an inch, I think an inch drop would be perfect.

Stock Wheel and tire dimensions- 235/55/17
Suggested tire for 19's- 255/40/19
They come out to almost the same exact measurement.

Put those dimensions into a "tire size calculator" http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html
They don't really raise the car
 
When I first put my 19's on, I took them off sam day until I could install eibachs because it looked way too high.
 
It doesn't look bad. I agree it looks better lowered but I think I can live with it for a few months.
I did the calculation and with 245/40s I would be 2.01% bigger. On stock 16s now with 215/60 tires.

Mine showed as being 0.5% bigger and only 1 Mph off. But then again I'm on 17s.

Those are tiny thats why. Not much different compared to the 17" wheels gap.

Stock tire size for the LS 17's is 235/50

255/40 is a lot of tire, especially if you want to be lowered, for the LS

The 16" tire was a 215/60/16. The 17" was 235/50/17. (OOPS!! NOW I see the bold....)

I'm running 255/40 all around on my Tucanas. The LS is also lowered...... Looks fantastic, IMHO!!
 
Nice color Hite, what happened to it ?
