18" Alloys on a V6S - will they fit?

[simonr]

Hi, I've 20" wheels on my V6S (2013) and am looking into a second set of wheels with winter tyres as the F is my daily and have some country lanes to get through as part of my daily commute.

I know 18" wheels are available for the V6S but I was wondering whether anyone has them on their V6S, do they fit / fit over the brakes or do they only fit the V6 (non S) or is there no difference and therefore no issue. May be a silly question I just dont want to buy a set of 18s and find they dont fit but cant find exact clear info on this. thanks

Being a V6s your car should have the high performance brakes fitted as standard (red calipers - optiional black). These have 380mm diameter front discs, versus 354mm on the V6.

The wheel size went up to 19" on the S to accommodate the larger brakes.

Thank you Mick, yes I have the red calipers and the disks are pretty big as you'd expect. I would assume the 18s are too small on that basis.

That’s correct, you’ll need 19” minimum.

On my 400bhp V6 (non S) I had 20” Turbine wheels on for summer and 18” for the winter SottoZero.

Been discussed before...https://www.ftypeforums.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=6672

In short, 18 inch wheels are not available for the V6S which came with the Jaguar High Performance Braking System as standard (380mm front discs and 325mm rear discs with red calipers). See the F-Type brochure pic and information on the Performance Braking Systems here https://www.ftypeforums.co.uk/viewtopic.php?p=57999#p57999

The 19 inch Propellers are a very good option that are worth considering? I have them on my car as shown in the first link I posted above and also here https://www.ftypeforums.co.uk/viewtopic.php?p=64296#p64296
