    Pics Please, XK with 4" Lift and 265/70-17 Tires

    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.
