  1. Hello, Brand new member from Lexington, Ky. in the U.S. Thought I would share some new pics of recent additions to my 2017 F Type SVR. After a long wait (that was well worth it!) I received my custom-built 3-piece forged B-forged wheels from Billet Specialties. Had to have the wheels built in 21" inches to make a 3-piece fit properly and clear the brakes. We originally were going to go down a little in width in tires in the front from 265 width to 255/30ZR21s and stay the same width in rear at 305/25ZR21's in rear. However, Michelin does not have any Pilot Sport 4 Summer tires in those sizes available here in the States and they wont be for at least a month. So, I talked to tire shop and we took a chance on going up in size. They agreed to test fit them and if they didn't work they would send the tires back no charge for me. We went with Michelin PS 4's in 275/30ZR21s in front and 325/25ZR21's in rear. Low and behold they fit outstanding. There is no run at lock to lock in the front and throughout the suspension travel. Turns out you CAN fit a 325 on the rear of an SVR as long as the wheel is built properly. My wheels had been built with a different offset to flush up the wheels with the fender openings. The factory wheels just seemed too sunken-in for my tastes. Sorry for the dirty car, etc., we had just had two days or rain and a few inches of snow that quickly melted making even a short trip from the tire shop to my store one in which the car got dirty. Next up will be cleaning and repainting the calipers and adding the original Jaguar decals back on them. I have ordered gloss red and black and will make a decision on which color to use once I can see the color in person. What do you guys think?
