I have the opportunity to acquire a set of custom wheels, that will take the Jaguar inserts, and Michelin tires. Curently running the OEM 225-55-16 tire. The new set has 18 inch wheels with tire size 245-40-18. My research shows the difference in tire height to be 2/100 of an inch. I saw a newer S Type today with the exact wheels and tires and the look is good. My question...anyone had any experience with this change and what was handling and ride like compared to OEM? Any other issues?

Thanks,

Scott
