Looking to replace my original wheels with something more spokey. Having a very hard time finding 17" with 5 x 120.65 bolt pattern and 73.8 hub. Does anyone know a source or solution? Would like to stay 17" as the tires are almost new. The factory rims are the ones that look like a flattened starfish, not very appealing. Some tire shops tell me 5 x 120 will fit, others say don't do it!

 

There is NOTHING metric about the bolt pattern.
The wheels are 5 on 4 and 3/4" bolt pattern.

GM cars have used them for DECADES.
The offset and hub are the only things to be concerned about if NON jaguar wheels are considered.

X308 sedan wheels will likely fit. (16")
Lots of XKR 18", 19" and 20" wheels will also fit.

Brake caliper clearance is the only worry with 16" but I think X308 is the same?

 

I bought new wheels here:

They don't make them anymore, sadly.

 

You could consider pcd adapters. See post #5 in this thread https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x...wheels-263182/

 

Take a look at the Vertini RFS1.2 Silver with Brushed Face wheels at www.vertiniwheels.com. I installed a set on my wife's 2006 XK8 last June and have been very pleased with them. Well-made, reasonably priced, and you can order them to your specifications. I went with 19 x 8.5, 5 x 120.65, +25 offset, and chrome lug nuts with the proper spline tool....

 

Looking at the website - it shows them for XK8 through F-Type now. They used to only make them for XK8/XKR. On the discontinued models the Whitley's are not listed. You may want to reach out to Coventry to confirm https://www.coventrywheels.com/explo...=29483&dist=50

 

Have tried Coventry through several sources and they all came back as discontinued.

 

There are a lot of options... I have wheels off of a BMW (5x120) on my car. I had to have the hub bore enlarged a few mm but other than that they are a perfect fit.

 

That is my best option so far, a 5 x 120 but did not know if they would fit. Happy to hear this.

 

Yeah, my wheels are from Avant Garde and I contacted them with questions on boring the wheel hub larger (since I needed the center hub bore opened from 72.6mm to 73.9mm). They said there was no problem doing it and if I had bought the wheels from them they would have done it for me.

Now some may not like using a 120 when the spec is 120.65, but the difference between 120.65 VS 120 is .65MM (or ~0.0256 inches... that is ~1/40th of an inch). That has to be within the tolerance... and I have been running 120's on my car for 8+ years now with no problems.

Let us know what you find!

 

Bought today TSW Sebring, Matte Black to match the Anthracite Pearl car. I wanted Silver, boss wanted black, who am I to argue. 17 x 8, 35 offset, 5 x 120 bolt pattern. Sebring Alloy Wheels by TSW $200 CDN, $150US ea. Install in spring, hope it fits.

 

The only issue I see is that the center bore is 76.1 and we need it to be 73.9mm as the wheels are hub-centric - meaning that they are aligned using the hub. IF you want to use those wheels then I am thinking you may need to get a spacer ring that will expand the Jag hub to 76.1mm I think that is pretty critical so you may want to cancel the wheels and shop some more.

 

Wheel shop is supplying the adapter rings.

 

Awesome! Can't wait to see them!

 

Not getting them put on until the snow stops and the salt is off the roads. Will post picture then.

 

You could buy this whole car which includes a nice set of wheels

 

5 x 120 BMW spec fit perfectly with hub adapter rings

 

Nice to see Whitley options listed (18/19/20) for an XK8. Have a set of 18's on my 2006. They are great wheels for our cars. Has the company changed ownership to TSW Alloy Wheels?

 

They are owned by TSW and are no longer made thus the wheels I chose.
