Default Wheel compatability... Will X350 wheels fit on our X308's ?

I'm looking for a spare set of wheels to mount some drag tires on for my 2001 XJR.

As the title suggests, Will the wheels from a newer Jag fit ? If not, are there any other OEM wheels from a different manufacturer that will fit?
  • I'm looking for a low budget solution here..

Nope, there's some aftermarket solutions out there but nothing OEM from non-jag.

Or you could buy mine https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/market/222090

Use Corvette wheels. Offset may be wrong but the old school 5 stud GM pattern lines up to the Jag.

The BMW pattern is almost line on- but slightly out (by 0.65mm) - and some have had studs break as a result.

According to this website (https://www.wheel-size.com/size/chev...corvette/1984/), 1984-88 Corvette wheels had good offset (30 mm) for the Jag but the wheels are 16 in. Later Corvettes had 17 in. wheels but too large offset, 50+ mm. Then, from 2006, there were Corvette wheels with 40 mm offset which would sit 7 mm inwards compared to the factory Jag wheels. So, the 50+ offset wheels could be used on the Jag with 20 mm spacers or the 40 mm offset ones with 10 mm spacers.

nothing is impossible, but I can tell you it wont be a direct plug and play. why I know that( I trust me that I know that the best,haha) , because I was able to put a set a Centa Chrome wheels on our X308. search my old thread to see how I did it through out the process and problems I had faced.

it is complicated but achievable
