Ok.. so those F*****s at the freaking jaguar service center over tightened the wheels on my jag.... so today I go to take the wheel of to put my new brakes on... and one of the nuts just wont come off... so I put some more pressure on it.. and it snaps the whole freaking stub off. I AM LIKE DAMMNNNNIIITT!!!! ...

What do I do noww!!!!.

Not only this.. so I am putting my new disks on and for some reason they are like a millimeter or 2 skinnier that my old ones.. so when I go to put the wheel on it is hitting the freaking caliper..... at this point.. I am ready to start like smashing things.. omg.

Please help me!!!

Thanks,
Paul

Soo is there a possible way to just change out the studs? or do I have to get that whole new hub thing? (whatever it is called)

Please lmk

Thanks,

You can change out just the studs, but why is your caliper hitting the rim? Something isn't right(obviously) because even if you brake a lug nut or a stud, the wheels are hubcentric and they wouldn't rub at all. You might've put them on wrong.

 

All is solved.... thanks for help!!!

got a new stud.. and the reason the caliper is a little closer to the wheel is because of the brand new fresh pads..

had the same problem with my land rover rims coming off. they were put on sooo tight, so I went to the dealer with my lug wrench in hand and ask them what it was...I then flew off the handle and said f!cking useless, that's what it is. then got treated with a modicum of respect. got rid of that frickin truck anyway. so LOL they won't be seeing me soon.

 

Nice one Bill............thats the way to do it......like your style bud

i thinking aftermarket rims on the stype?

 

Keep them stock! If you don't have the stock 18's get em! Or 19's!!! What do you have jaggenius?

 

i can't say .... on here, to many eyes....

 

but i am waiting for a 2002 xjr to fall in my lap.. or a 2004 xjr

 

Oooh! For sure keep it stock just get some big stock ones!
Do you want sporty or non sporty?
Chrome or no chrome?
Are you younger or older?
Like tedious cleaning?

 

Thursday I saw a burgundy looking one of these! Man was it awesome!

20-inch Callisto alloy wheels--LOVE THEM!!!


Keep it clean and simple with some 5 spoke wheels...

The 19" polaris wheels look good...

20" cermona are awesome!

Go either callisto or cermona...they look the best for sure!

 

These are the cremona...they look better when you go to jaguar.com and put them on the vanden plas xj...they don't look as awesome on these pics imo...

 

What a hot *** car! I had a similar problem with overtightened lug nuts on my 240sx. I hit a pot hole and the three of my four lugs broke off. How dangerous...but that's ok. I'll be buying ARP extended studs.

 

hey i just drove the new xkr portfoilio with the alcon brakes... the car is beautiful.. and stops on a dime! i just think the shifter is kinda fruity..
and you also get no spare tire or jack . but she drives nice..

 

She have runflats on her? Does that have that weird shifter instead of the j-gate? To me it looks like something is missing with that shifter...
