Wheels
So, I am planning to get a new set of wheels and tires for summer/winter. However, finding wheels for the 2000 VDP is proving to be a challenge without spending $$$$
So, I am looking at some, but I don't know enough about wheels to know if it will work, here is what I am looking at:
https://www.customwheeloffset.com/bu...=No%20trimming
I like the way the look, and the price, but will they work on the car? The offset is different, is there any way that can be changed with spacers or something?
I literally know nothing about this, haha. Also, I would also be putting my current tires on them (225/60R16)

The pictures of the wheels don't load if I open the site, but the look is not important in the technical judgement.
- Your Jaguar bolt pattern is 5x120.65, I don't see that mentioned.
There are ppl. who fit 5x120 on their Jaguars, with some mixed reviews.
- Your standard 7Jx16 wheels have an offset of 33mm if my memory serves well.
As wheel bearing on our Jaguars are considered weak, you better stay around this value to keep loads even.
- As you will not go any wider or larger, clearance issues should not be a problem.
- Be further careful with the required center hole in the rim (rather large), the hub design (which requires wheels to accept a flange on the hub for centering and load bearing), and the type of wheel bolts.
All in all you, if you don't, you will need a supplier who knows what he is doing, otherwise the change of going wrong on some of the issues is present.
Alternatively, you can check on used Jaguar wheels.
Not all designs look good, but there might be something of your liking on the 16'' or 17" sizes.
And they show up rather cheap on this forum or eBay from time to time.
