Maybe it is just me but I have seen loads of different rims for a 1997 Jag XK8 and I do not think you can beat an original chrome set it just looks right and its original.
Most of the rims out there on a Jag either look like a door to a washing machine or make the car look like it wants to bounce up and down in a rap video..
I ended up getting lucky and came across a set of mint chrome XK8 rims and tires for $250 the guy selling them believe it or not had managed to get a 22" rim on the back and I think a 20" rim on the front so he says it looked like ***** he was happy and so was I; what an idiot.
Stick with the original and forget dustbin lid rims.

5x120 may fit even without wobble nuts, as the stud location is only 0.325mm different from where it would be with a true 5x120.65, and there should be a lot more clearance around the studs than that.
The most important thing is that you have the correct 73.9mm centrebore, as this is what actually locates and centres the wheel on the hub
