I'm looking for pictures of XK's with 4" of 4" with 265/70-17 tires.
Side views would be great. I'm trying to determine what going to a 4" lift will look like with my current rims and tires, Thanks!
A little trick I used to do was put a bottle jack and floor jack under the vehicle where it can't be seen and jack it up a few inches to achieve the expected height from the lift.... snap a few pics and you'll know exactly what your particular setup will look like.

You can take a look at my garage thread. However I'm running 285/70R17's! If that helps.

I take it you plan on running the 265/70s just until they are bald right??

They have about 8,000 miles on them. Plus I would really like more clearance in the front wheelwell, I'm not happy with the stuffing at all. Pinch weld done, reformed the wheelwells, but I have rear air and I don't want to give that up. I don't use the rear seats, but it's nice for the labs.

My 285's fit fine with rear air still there and the pinch weld mod done to it.

Good idea, thanks Matt!

Lol I used to change lift/wheels/tires almost yearly so I did that quite often
