Default XJR wheels question

Hi all. new to the forum here. im looking to get a set of wheels for my 02 XJR for the winter. after doing some reading here, looks like my initial plans of buying 16" xj8 rims wont work as they dont clear the brakes in the front so i will need 17s.

i believe the 17" VDP wheels and also pre-2003 XK model wheels will fit... any other wheels i can look into? i am pretty sure i have read that x350 and stype wheels will not fit.
id prefer to stick with oem wheels.
any help would be appreciated. thanks!

Hi
If you have the standard brake the 16" will fit because i try a BMW styling 6 rim. Unfortunately the BMW is in did 5x120 but the interior of the rim has 72.5mm instead of 74mm. I try to put BMW rims for the winter because are more common on my country and i have at home four pieces from my last car. I try another BMW rim, i don`t know which model. It was from a new model maybe E60 and it fits 100%.

i think the 16s wont fit even the nonbrembo front brakes as they are 325mm.

so the E60 rims fit without an issue on your xjr?

thanks

Here is a link Brake Disc and Caliper-Front - Parts For XJ Series from (V)812317 to (V)F59525 (X308) | Jaguar Classic Parts UK There are two non R Performance brake disks diameters, one with 305mm another one 325mm, which one you have?
Belive me the BMW Styling 6 fits on my XJR except the middle hole which is smaller 72.5mm I made this check personally.
