Hey guys...I found a SUPER deal on Jaguar XKR rims. I am wondering,
is there ANY POSSIBLE way to fit them on a 2000 S-type??
is there any company that you know of that makes adapters??
Please LMK ASAP
I believe the XKR bolt pattern is 5x4.75in or 5x120
and the S-type bolt pattern is 5x4.25in or 5x108
Thanx in advance

Geez you would think the forum was on fire....

I think you can buy space adapters/plates, but the bolt differance is too great and you may have to drill which is never a good idea no matter how good the deal was/is.

 

Alright,, thanks,,, I ended up passing the deal on.. and instead got 19 inch black rims with a chrome lip for the 5x108 bolt pattern...

I got Zinik Z9 Sabinis 18x7.5

LMK what you think

thanx

 

I've heard of the 19's rubbing on fenders and tire damage when it hits the fnder during turns and bumps..... some 18's as well...do a search in the forum for wheel rubbing...and see if you can find it....

I think if you put passengers in the rear, you may have a slight problem....but check it out just to be sure

 

Hey.. well since I got some 18's the wheels including the tires are EXACTLY as tall as my stock rims and tires... The rubber is really this on my 18's it's like 30 or 35mm I can't remember so I don't think it'll rub.

I was going to go with 20's in first place but then I thought that that would be to "PIMP" for me,, I wanted something with a european look. Also I have 20% tinted windows and the rims are black with a chrome 1 1/2 inch lip.

SOOoooo overall.. I have 18's with black insides and chrome lip,, and a 20% tint that's really dark.. Now since my wheels overall are the same size as the old ones,,, I think the only right thing left for me to do as far as the exterior major mods is drop it with the Eibach pro drop springs, and put spacers between hubs and the rims to make it a little wider...

LMK

and thanks for help
