16" Dino Wheels Cromodora Design from Superformance

As a bonus there are currently 2 tyres in the size 205/70VR14 that you would consider fitting

Michelin XWX - The OE Dino tyre https://www.longstonetyres.co.uk/205-70wr14-michelin-xwx.html

and

Pirelli Cinturato CN36 https://www.longstonetyres.co.uk/205-70wr14-pirelli-cinturato-cn36.html

They are both great, but there is nothing else worth considering. You would only buy anything else because it was cheap, and you dont mind your car not being as nice to drive.

 

These wheels would fit an unflared 246GT? I generally prefer more sidewall as the roads near me can be quite bumpy but it would be nice to throw some sticky 16" on for certain applications.

 

Yes, they will fit. Tires are 205/55R16 & 225/50R16.

Well i wouldn't choose to fit 16" wheels on a Dino. However if i were forced to then those P7 would be the best tyres.

Here’s some added images of Dinos on 16” Cromodora style wheels. You can also see the suspension is lowered slightly for a great stance.

 

Just my opinion (like everybody, I'm entitled to one), when you look at a car and your eyes are drawn directly to the wheels (or tires), that's not a good look.

 

Fortunately there’s lots of opinions!

 

Somewhat to my surprise, they look better than I feared that they would. I think I still prefer the originals. Aesthetically I would find 16" acceptable in pursuit of improved grip, but I am not sure I would want that - it would change the character of the car (the same reasons I keep my E-type on 5" wide wheels and 80 profile tires - I know I could improve it, but I don't want to do so, because then it would not be the car Jaguar built).

 

+1 agree

 

I like it because it’s a simple bolt on bolt off. Definitely creates polarizing opinions! AFAIK the 308 chassis/suspension was very similar in spec to the 246 or?
