Default What 'er my options...

Looking to upgrade my '97 VDP's tires and rims. Mostly I''d like an updated "look", ie I'm not too concerned about performance beyond what I have now with stock rims and tires. I love the look of the new XJ8 "Tucana" rims, but they are very pricey, and I think they are too big for a '97 VDP. But how does one know? So what sizes can be directly fitted to a '97 without having to worry about rubbing fender wells, damage, etc? My stock size is 225/60ZR16.

18" can be used , X308's XJR came with 18" wheels . Some guys use 20"s too which is ugly

Can I use wheels from an S model Jag? Will they bolt directly or does it require adapters or a different hub? Thanks Cadillac!

Can't use XF wheels, the XF uses a different bolt pattern.

Link to help you determine which years and models crossover each other, at least in the bolt patterns. XJ and XK rims swap very nicely.
