Default 20" volan wheels tyre and spacer info. required

I have just purchased these wheels and I have 2 questions.

1. Do i need to fit spacers?

2. What is the correct tyre fitment for front & rear?

Any help appreciated.

What year and model of XF? The only vehicle I'm aware that the Volans came stock on was the '09 XF Supercharged. The offset on the rear Volans are higher (but they are also wider) than other wheels available that year. So, spacer? Maybe, if you have a non-supercharged variant.

Hi again duke!

My car is a 2009 XF 2.7 V6 diesel, they are to replace the stock 18" wheels that came with the car.

There should be no need for a spacer up front. In the rear, I'd mount without and see how it looks/drives. I doubt you'll need one in the rear either but if they appear to sit a little too far inboard, you might try a small spacer.
