Are the 17" Cayman wheels the same bolt pattern as the 17" Flute wheels?
I like the flutes more than the Caymans, and want to put Flutes onto the 2006 X-type I'm buying, which currently has Caymans.

I have a couple of the 17" Flute wheels which are apparently a 5 x 110 mm bolt pattern.

Factory Wheel Warehouse also has the Cayman wheel, which they also describe as a 5 x 110 mm bolt pattern.

However, .


These "triple-5's" are described as fitting 2002-2008 X-Types - and they're described as 5 x 108.

But I only see a single "hub" in the SNG Barratt parts catalog - which makes me think there's only the one bolt pattern across all years of the X-type.

Does anyone know if they changed the bolt pattern for the wheels? Are they all the same? Or is that 2 mm difference inconsequential?

Thanks in advance.

 

Meatbag: 5 data points say our X-Types have 5 X 108 mm bolt pattern:

1) Autorimshop.com lists your 17" 2006 Cayman rims with 5 X 108 mm pattern. Other model year X-Types on Autorimshop.com also have 5 X 108 mm: https://www.autorimshop.com/jaguar-x...rim-59706.html

2) My 2002 Sport has 17 inch 5 X 108 mm rims - I replaced 2 rims bent by the original owner

3) Jaguar's EPC - Electronic part catalogue shows the same hub fits all X-Type model years

4) Jaguar's EPC also shows all 17 inch wheel patterns are interchangeable across all model years

5) DiscountTire.com sells 17 inch 5 X 108 mm wheels for our X-Types

 

5x110 will not fit a 5x108 without modification or using those sketchy "wobble nuts".




Just to solidify my point, newer pontiac wheels are 5x115, and they dont fit on cars with the bolt pattern of 5x114.3, only a .7 mm difference.

 

Thanks Clapp, I'm going to go with my gut and with those five data points - and ignore the less conclusive seller information i see on Ebay, Amazon, and FWW.
Your AutoRimShop link shows my '03 X-type Flutes as 5 x 108 too, while my FWW link shows them as 110. I bought two from FWW for my '03 last year, and they fit perfectly. Go figure.

And thanks Dell - I certainly don't want "wobbly nuts" either.

 

Just be wary; the Flutes are much easier to damage than the Caymans...and the Caymans are easy to break!

 

So yesterday I was a tire-changing little monkey...
I swapped all Eight wheels and tires between the two cars.
Took me almost 3 hours in 85 degree weather.
What a PITA, but it's done.
And yes, they fit perfectly.

 

All the wheels have the same bolt pattern and are interchangeable in the same diameter and, in fact in larger diameters. In other words, you can go from a 16 inch wheel to a 17 inch wheel.

 

sov211 is correct. But you may ask why going from 16" to 17" wheels doesn't screw up the accuracy of your speedometer.

Answer: The tire diameter is 25" for both 16" and 17" rims with OEM tires.

16" rims have tires with 4.5" sidewalls: 4.5" + 16" + 4.5" = 25" tire diameter

17" rims have tires with 4" sidewalls: 4" + 17" + 4" = 25" tire diameter

So why change? Aside from appearance, 4.5" sidewalls on 16" wheels are more flexible, for a comfort suspension; 4" sidewalls on 17" wheels are stiffer, for a sport suspension.

 

Just changed from 16inch X10's with Pirelli P7 205/50's on my 2002 2.5 to 18inch Aruba's with Bridgestone Potenza S003 RFT 225/40's. Looks so much younger now.
