I will be buying winter tires and dedicated rims for my xjr this year. 19" rims are too expensive. I'm curious if I search on tire rack using 2004 xj8 as the car, will those 18" rims fit my car just fine?

You are probably going to want to get someone there on the phone. The bolt pattern and offset are obviously fine but the real question will be brake clearance. Your XJR with the Brembo brakes will need more room than the standard XJ and I don't know if there is anyway to determine this fit without having tried it.

I have a 2005 Super V8 with the Brembo brakes and I went with some 18" Tucana Jaguar wheels for my winter set as I read from a previous forum post they would work. Not a huge fan of how they look but got them pretty cheap on Ebay.

 

I just checked ebay for those rims, and they are more expensive than i would like for winter rims.

From tirerack.com...
cheapest 19's - $939 each
cheapest 20's - $175 each
cheapest 18's - $122 each

so you can see why i want to fit some 18's...I'll have to call them and see if they can tell me if they will fit

 

I have heard that 18" XF rims will fit but never looked into it.
