It certainly looks like you guys are right; anyone know how these fit up to an XJS? The specs on the XJR Supercharged wheels are: 8Jx17 ET33 with a 255/45 tire. And more than just fitting in the wheel wells - I'd want to make sure there isn't too much stress on the wheel bearings.
Based on this calculator comparing the stock 83 XJS wheels/tires vs. the XJR's, weight distribution should stay centered: https://www.wheel-size.com/calc/?whe...cl=50mm&sr=0mm

Nevermind, looks like I found the answer on this forum: https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x...-wheels-65576/
"...So the late-90s 17" X 8" XJR wheels, with this "magic" offset and identical bolt pattern and hub bore are the easiest way to upgrade to a 17" X 8" wheel on the XJ-S."

Just be aware that 17" wheels can cause tramlining in a way that 15" and 16" won't. At one time I had a 1995 VDP with 16" wheels and a 1995 XJR with those 17" wheels and the VDP would drive much straighter and easier than the XJR. The XJR felt like it was twitchy and nervous, the VDP wafted along on the same piece of road.
