You will be fine with 35mm in front. That's only 11mm more towards the fender. H&R makes spacers for our car. And people run 10mm up front all day long, putting the offset at 36mm.

 

Note if you have an XF SC you'll struggle to get any of the 19inch wheels to fit. The brake calipers are oversized and unfortunately fowl most 19inch wheels. I tried to find a 19inch for my winter tyres, but gave up in the end as I struggled to find anything that would get over the brakes. I believe one or two people did find a 19inch that worked on the SC so may be worth a search on this site. However best guidance is to try before you buy - a few people had to send back wheels they were told would fit - but didn't... Let us know what you end up doing - and whether there is a noticable performance improvement.

 

Jaguar factory 19s should fit but I don't know that for sure. I know the XFR or XF SC 5.0 version has very big calipers.

 

The factory OEM 19's would fit, the brakes looks to be 14" and the clearance looks fine.

I know I promised some pictures regarding wheel fitment this saturday when I head to a shop to see how it'll look and how the clearance is with Mina springs on and off the vehicle.
Unfortunately My schedule is too tight and I won't be able to make it to the wheel shops.
Instead I'd only have time to stop by Mina's shop for their parts.

I have a few friends who do car mods/shops for a living, Once I get the mina parts installed I'll take it over there and see what sort of samples they have on wheels and fitments. I'll get some pictures there and keep others posted here. They're just going to be surprised I have a Jag lol this should turn out to be interesting.

as for offsets , someone else on the net at another forum has fit 20x9 +32 front and 20x10.5 +46 rear and with low profile tires he has 0 clearance problems. But I believe he sacrificed good tires to be able to achieve that. I'm guessing more for looks than anything else.

 

Probably a completely dead issue, but want to reinforce that the weights listed are the additional weight of a set of four wheels compared to what was standard on the '12 XF (18in Vela). So, you need to find out what a set of Velas weigh and then calculate the per wheel weight for the other styles. I did read somewhere that the XFR standard wheels were forged, and the others were all cast.

 

Sorry to revive a dead thread, but I'm thinking of changing out my 20" hydras for the 18" velas.

The Vela's weight doesn't seem to be listed properly in this post and the link to the handbook no longer works.

Does anyone know where to find another source for this handbook or what weight the Velas are?
