And, they don't fit. Our stock wheels have absolutely straight barrels with very little brake clearance. Back to the drawing board. Sigh.

 

That's a shame. The offset you published was only 7mm different, which isn't that much, but if the spokes aren't curved for caliper clearance the offsets could have been the same and still not fit.

 

Got my winters on. Of course it is 14C.

 

It could be worse -- you could have put your winters on 2 weeks ago.

Those black rims look great on the red F-type.

 

I'm ordering some winter wheels for my F-Type S (Performance Brake Pack).
I've been suggested the following, but they can't confirm fitment.

Any of the wheel gurus have some insight?

The fronts will be 19x8.5 with a 5/108 bolt pattern, an offset of 45 and a bore of 67.00
The rears will be 19x10 with a 5/108 bolt pattern, an offset of 45 and a bore of 63.30

Thanks, appreciate all the knowledge on the forum.

 

The bores are completely wrong for the F-Type. All F-Type models have a 63.4 bore, but other Jags are 63.3. The fronts aren't even close.

 

On the front, the offset is ok, but the bore is too big so you would be relying on the bolts to center the wheel on the hub rather than the wheel bore. Might not be an issue. Centering bores weren't used until recent decades, but then 170+ mph cars weren't that typical.

On the rear, the bore is too small, and the offset will reduce inner tire clearance by a full inch and move the exterior of the tire inboard by a quarter inch.

 

Thanks Unhingd,
I'm confused now, bb_sam got the 63.3 bore size to fit on his F-type, but I've heard from other threads that the bore is 64.3?
Which is it?

If I switch the rear to a 19x10 with an offset of 25 will that offer better clearance?

Thanks for helping me understand how to determine tire fitment.....

 

The bore is absolutely is 63.4. A 10th of a mm small is a very tiny difference and they could be forced on and torqued down tight, I but wouldn't want to do that on my car. The tire shop may not have even noticed. I suppose it depends upon your definition of "fits."

It also might be a little tough to get them back off.

 

When I purchased my rims, the guy said that the distributor was going to 'custom drill' the bore holes. So, it's possible that this explains why the specs on the Braelin rim may not be exactly the same as the OEM requirements -- they were drilled to fit perfectly.

 

Regarding bore, I can only report published data. I have never taken a caliper gauge to the hub ridge. I will do that when I have the wheels off to install the front spacers, but that won't be for a couple weeks.
The 25mm offset will work just fine. It will move the exterior of the wheel outward by about 10mm from the stock wheel position. Plenty of clearance and it will look good.

BTW, there is a tools tab at the top of this page that has a wheel fitment calculator. That might be of assistance to you.

 

Yes, mine were drilled to fit too. PM sent to Nav_MD if he wants to see them in person.
