Default Winter set up -- Will XF Cygnus 18" Wheels Fit on F-Type Base?

I started looking for winter tires/rims for my 2016 F-Type base. I came across a set of used XF Cygnus 18" rims that have Blizzak LM-60's on them.

Specs are: Offset 49
Measurement: 8.5 x 18
5x 108
Center Bore: 63.4mm
Tires: 245/45/18

Does anyone know if these will fit my F-Type?

I copied these specs from an old thread:

Here are the specs for 20 in F Type Wheels. I don't know of any other Jaguar model that has these offsets.

Number of Bolts: 5
Rim Material:Alloy
Bolt Pattern:5x108
Rim Width: 9 FRONT / 10.5 REAR
Hub Bore:63.4
Rim Diameter:20
Rim Structure:One Piece
Offset:55 FRONT / 38 REAR


They should fit, but the question is whether you can live with the look given the different offsets and width.

The 49mm offset is a perfect fit for the F-Type with an 8.5" wide wheel.
The tire diameter is also a match, as is the center bore and lug pattern.


That offset matches the offset on the 19"x8.5" wheels on the V6S models.

F-Type rear offsets are always different. The question is how it will look in the rear.

The fronts match and the rears will fit but will have 9mm less inner clearance and be retracted 35mm from the fender. So you would need 35mm wheel spacers for the rear to get the same outside positioning of the wheel.

I am assuming that you current rear wheel is a 18 inch vela with a width of 9.5 and a 27 offset.

I actually have 19"s (orbit wheels) on there. I decided to go down to 18's for the winter -- since I have the base model (no slip differential), I figure I will need all the traction I can get in the winter so the smaller wheels should help.

Is it that big of a deal for me to add the 35mm spacers to make the rears work?

If you're interested I have my stock 18" Velas with the OEM tires for sale. I took them off at about 3000 miles. I'm in California.

Appreciate it but I'm in Toronto Canada so the shipping is prohibitively expensive -- let alone the horrible exchange rate

I believe the 19" Orbit have the same width 9.5 and offset 27 as the Velas so wheel positioning would be the same. As far as spacers I have read that the bore on the F type is a bit different than the other 5x108 Jaguar wheels but there is a company that makes them for the F type that other members have purchased. I believe they got them from Wheel Adapters, Wheel Spacers, Hub Centric Rings | Motorsport Tech and Lenny was who they spoke to.

Personally I would look for a used set of stock 18" wheels since the F type wheels are staggered and the XF wheels you are looking at are not and you would not have to deal with spacers. I saw a set on ebay for $600.
