Thumbs up XJ8/XJR wheel question help

Hello everyone! New to forum seeking some help with winter wheels for my 2005 XJR. I want to know if the 2005-2007 18 inch 8 spoke wheel will fit on my XJR. I have Sepangs on it but want OEM smaller diameter wheels with Blizzaks for occasional winter driving.

I don't have pics of the 18 inch wheel but they have 8 wide spokes with indent running length of rib. My understanding they came on XJ model.

I think Jaguar wheel name is Dynamic!

Thank you!:

One more point, I think the wheel was for Vanden Plas model. I called dealer but they could not answer my question about figment for 2005 XJR.

I actually swapped my 20" Sepangs for 18" Dynamic because I couldn't stand the harsh ride on the very low profile tyres. So there is no problem with the swap, but you have to reprogram the car to the new wheel size, otherwise the speedometer may not read the correct value. However, note that the tyre fitment for an 18" wheel gives a diameter little different to the 20" wheel with the recommended tyres, so I don't supose this reprogram makes all that much difference.

Thank you so much Fraser! That was precisely the information I was looking for. Trying to get XJR prepped now with winter around the corner. By the way, I had blizzak snows for my 2000 XJ8 and they were great performers. Would recommend to anyone! Thanks again!

Sorry, made a slight error ! My 18" wheels are "Tucana" type 8 x 18" with 15 spokes, (and also very easy to clean). Dealer printed out what mine were, and I think yours are in the picture with 8 spokes. There are 5 different wheel styles in the picture, but not the Sepangs which I assume were an optional extra, these being the standard wheel options. My wheels were originally £300 each.
