It was certainly not my intention to mislead but rather to assist. I do not claim an in-depth expertise regarding Crossfires. While I try to be informed, I am pretty new to them. I apologize for any confusion my ignorance may have caused.

I confused the wheel issue with the Volvo R model versus none R model. I had owned a Volvo or two since the seventies with two of them being R models, the last of which had model specific brakes which required larger wheels to clear them. I owned that last R Volvo for about a decade replacing it with a Jaguar.

To add to my confusion, I am pretty sure the Jaguar S-type R also has larger wheels than the non R for the same reason. I do know they are staggered in size. In contrast, my non R S-type has the smaller diameter wheels of the same diameter front and back. I am sure that is where my confusion came from.

Your greater knowledge of Crossfires is accepted without a doubt. If I ever am on the hunt for one in the central Florida area I will certainly be asking you some questions.

Thank you for the offer.
