Ahhhh...now I see.

The lattice lugs are much shorter that the ones you need.

Sorry I don't have a solution to offer. Good luck!

I guess I'll have to pull one off to double check. I do know mine are 15" 60 spoke with the same chrome lugs nuts & washers & 3 ear spinners (the same as in your picture's] that came from Dayton along with the wheels, I believe I bought them in 1997.

They look similar, but not exactly the same. I would want to measure the shank length and shank diameter before ordering. That's $11.25 US compared to $20 for Dayton remakes.

The shank is 1" long X 3/4" wide , the washer is 1/8" thick. Engraved on the side below the hex head is: DAYTON 120B-1/2. The one I have looks a little different than the one you sent me in the picture I would sent a picture but don't know how, but I'll see what I can do/learn.

Here's a picture, with the wheel lock installed. (The wheels are pretty dirty still, I was more focused on getting the car running first!)

I have the same wheels but I can't find the proper shanked lugs for my 1995 jaguar XJS. I'm having trouble finding lug dimensions for these specific rims.

Which model do you have? In principle I have to warn you, wire wheels are not strong enough for an XJS's performance and weight.

95 XJS coupe facelift 4.0. I got the wire wheels off my friends 94 XJS Convertable he drove on these rims for 18 years. I just took them to the rim shop where they were tested for true and spokes tuned. The tech said they are in perfect condition and will more than support the weight of my little jag. Wire wheel failures are uncommon. Most failures occur when the spokes are not serviced properly. If you hear a creaking sound when you drive they need attention.

I used these when I replaced my wire rims. Here they are on Tear Drops, but they were identical to the ones I pulled from my Dayton wires.

Gorilla 73187SMB. Full set of 20 for $60.

Basically look for long or short mag shanks. Gorilla has lots of options.
