WHATS you opinion on 21" wheels also are these too wide 255/30r front - 295/25r rear are they to wide ? will they rub. BL

 

XF?

 

I have a set of brand new, still in the boxes, Arden Speedline 21" wheels

2x 9Jx21 ET40, 2x 10Jx21 ET50, so a staggered set 9" front & 10" rear.

I worked out that 255/30/21 for the fronts & 295/25/21 for the rears would be an almost perfect match to rolling circumference of the stock size of 255/35/20 as used on the X350 XJ

I have seen the same sizes used on X350's (by Arden & by Wald) and they fit without rubbing.

As far as I can tell this will also be no problem on the X150 XK, and 99% sure it'll be fine on the X250 XF as well.

I can organise shipping to Canada if you were interested...

 

Nice wheels but sorry they have to be chrome. BL

That car can handle 21" wheel easily and tastefully. As long as your tire diameter is within 3% OEM and widths are no wider than 20mm over OEM, you should be fine. You will need proper offset (high ET35+), but you should be fine.

Your bigger problem will be sourcing 5x108 21" wheels. My guess is that you will need to use Mercedes/Audi/Porsche fitment and adapters to do this or have the wheels you want redrilled and sleeved to 5x108. There aren't many cars that take this bolt pattern and if you search online, pretend you are looking for Volvo XC90 wheels, as they being SUVs are the most commonly owned and modified 5x108 cars in North America. I use this trick to find 20s in 5x108, so should also work for 21's. Good luck.

If you do something chrome, just keep simple lines. Stay away from (almost) anything with a try-hard Italian sounding company name or wheels catered to domestic cars with ornate details. Less is more in terms of wheel design.

 

The Arden Sportlines are actually a chrome rim with alloy center.

Here are the 20" ones on Johns XKR, obviously 21" will be that little bit bigger...





The ones I have are designed for the X150 XK...
