Jags with aftermarket wheels are a bit unusual, especially older (pre-1998 or so) ones. The reason: Jag hubs require the wheel to have a larger-than-usual center hole....and not many wheel manufacturers have gotten on board.
More often than not you'll bigger wheel from other Jag models rather than aftermarket.

Jim, I posted a message that talks about putting 18" rims on the car, yes finding something aftermarket isn't easy so I had them bored out to fit the hubs, correct tires,offset etc.... The boring was done before delivery for $50/rim and I got what I wanted. Anyways, search on "Rim options for an 84 VDP" and you will find the measurements a couple pics and comments of what I did. It is the only thing I've done to the car so far but am hoping to follow fastkat,icsamerica and others in redo-ing the car from the ground up this coming winter.

I don't believe this to be a good design and its my opinion this should not be emulated in anything other than a old truck where good handling isn't expected. The solid trailing arm will cause serious rear steer condition and bind. As the trailing arm travels in an arc, it lengthens and shortens which would pull or push the hub out of the correct perpendicular position with the center line of the vehicle and would tend to make the IRS role. I believe the way Lister did it is the best way because it results in no rear steer or roll.

Where?...Am I missing it? the tread you posted has many links to other threads but I cant find any mention of racing and I see no details other that the truck install. Perhaps you can point me in the right direction because I'd enjoy reading more about it.

Wheels
I know there is a much better selection of tires available in that size wheel but not sure if the tires will rub.
I would like to use the Dunlop D-Type aluminum wheels in 15" x 6" or in 16" x 6" if possibly produced in that size.

If the wheels bolt up properly and fit tight on the hub-centric hub, and the offset is the same as all the other Jaguar wheels used on the XJ SI-SIII, then yes they should fit without rubbing. Of course you can't go crazy with the tire size either. My 225's do not rub.
Will 16" x 6" wheels fit on my 1975 XJ?
