No, they are for much newer Jags.

XJ-S uses 5 x 120.65

They are called the "dimpled" alloy wheel. 16 inch. They were one of several choices on the 1995-97 X300 XJ6 models, My '97 has them. I would also like to have those wheels on my XJS. I haven't tried fitting them. Do they have the seem wheel lug pattern?

They should fit, but they are not 5 x 108...

the advertiser of these isn't advertising any hole size but they are 8" wide x 16" and cheap for £50 for 2.

The wheels in the photo should be 7" wide, not 8. As far as I know, the only wheels fitted to X300's that were 8" were the XJR wheels.

these dimpled wheels are in the jaguar accessory book 1996 but not listed for use on the xjs, they are available 7" and 8* with a 33 off set. I wonder why they wont fit or the problems of fitting them are, picture from a set on ebay showing size, I currently have RW macho 8" rears on the back with an offset of 22 they miss the outer wheel arch flange with 235-60-16 tyres fitted
this picture is of a dimple wheel on eBay currently

Learn something every day. I had no idea that style was ever available in 8" width.

I have these on my 94 XJS. they were n it when I bought it. not my first choice however. I prefer the 5 spoke rims. the ones I have are 16" but not sure of the width and I assume they are a 33 offset.


is 33 offset the standard for the XJS wheel?

32 offset is standard for a 7J rim and 25 offset for a 8J rim .

33 is a very common Jag offset, it should fit an XJS just fine.

Yes, for the 7J XJS rim, and the 7J and 8J for the XJ. Note that many people have used '94-97 XJR 17" X 8" wheels on an XJS, and these wheels have a 25mm offset, for a good reason.

Fishbait, You've got the wheels that I want for my XJS. My car has the lattice which look good but are only 15 inch. Hard to find good tires in 15 inch. But first I've got to get my car running right again!
