I wonder how they would look on a black car?

Liked your choice of wheel/tire combo.

Appears you've had the TWS-Snetteron / Hankook combo a over 2 years now......
1. Have the Hankook's met your expectations..... dry/wet conditions?
2. Would you still stick with your initial Hankook 275/35/19, or go with 285/35/19?

The tires are great, but I can't say much about driving them in wet conditions because I don't get my baby out in the rain. I use her only for what she is intended for----sunny days. LOL. As for the tire size I would keep it the same. What I wanted in a larger size was to fill out the fender well a little better than with the original size and I accomplished the look that I personally wanted. I could have purchased either size and I guess it is strictly a personal preference which size a person would use and the look that they desire.

Since I like your wheel/tire combo..... might have to go the same route, or at least the tire setup with the oem wheels.

Thanks for the info..... and may you never-ever get caught in the rain w/your baby.... LOL

275/35 19" rear
19 x 9.5 TWS Snetterton Chrome Rims 20 offset


Cant seem to find these in this offset anymore. Do you think they just stopped making them in this config. I want this identical setup, but having trouble finding the correct size.

Looks like you need to buy the 35 mm offset for the rears and use a 15 mm spacer with longer Lug Bolts. Will give you the same setup.

I put these on my car last fall. I also added 15mm spacers to the rear. This photo however is before I added the rear spacers. Don't forget to have them install the "centering rings/spacers" These will ensure your aftermarket wheels will fit snug to the hub.

I will admit, the TSW Snetterton wheel looks really good on the Crossfire!

Lucky me. I bought my XF with these already on it with the stock rims in the box and all receipts. . My question is, I have 18x8.0 et 20 and 19x9.5 et 20 how wide and low profile can I go on these? I’ve glanced at the tires sticky and those mentioned I think are all stock wheels. Can I go 295 wide on these? What’s the widest and lowest you owners with this set up are doing?

thanks!

be well!

Hey, JPT,

The set I have on my car, in looking through my grandpas files, he bought his from Wheel Warehouse out of Anaheim, CA in March 2011! and paid $1576!

you may have to seek out eBay or other resale sources for a set. ….or wait and see if a community member sells theirs here..
