It's a tight fit, but they work. Four rear 20x9.5 ET66 from a 2010 Jaguar XF-R +25mm spacers. There is about a credit card's clearance between the front strut and inner rim.





Sorry about crappy midnight garage pics. Ok, gonna go take them off now and put the fake BBS back on with winter tires.

 

DAAAAAAAAAAAYUUUUUUUUUUUM!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have bee thinking of bagging mine too. I love the way yours looks with those 20s! I was parked a little weird in my driveway last night which caused me to have some crazy wheel tuck and I think I fell in love... Here goes the start of my vacation budget :P

 

Jeremy, you've now convinced me that 19" is the right size for the X400, 20" is just too big...

 

These even look bigger than my other two sets of 20s. You can do a 3-piece 20 (or 3-piece look) and optically those lose an inch of diameter. A 3-piece 19 looks like an 18 and so forth.

If you are looking for 19s, I like the OEM "Custom" wheels (yes, it sounds like an oxymoron) from a 2005 XJ VDP and they bolt right up with 5x108 bolt pattern and CB63.4.

 

Never been a fan of those wheels to be honest.

 

Not diggin those particular wheels, but the car is still amazing.

 

This is actually my favorite Jaguar wheel design, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder. 19" Volans would be cool, too, and a bit easier to fit.

 

Actually I really like the 20" Sepang from the XJ, they look alright on the S-Type, wonder how they'd look on a Black X-Type?



Does that mean the Sepangs would also fit straight up? What's CB63.4? The required offset?

 

I like the wheels but I'm not sure if I like them on the X... I might change my mind with some better pics and at driving height. For now I think if you're going to rock the 20s, the Sport Technos are the way to go. I loved those on your car.

 

The Sport Technos have officially been retired. They had this wierd tendency to lose bead on tires while driving in the rain. I think these are cooler and they are not cheap Chinese reps, so they should keep the tires seated also - a huge safety bonus!

 

Depends on their width and offset. S-Class takes mega high offset like the XF, but center bore (CB) and bolt pattern is the same. Worse case you'll need spacers.

 

Looks awesome.....But how do you steer?

 

With the steering wheel I imagine.

 

these would be just perfect at 19 inches. I like the wheel designs. car still looking so awesome!

 

Went against my better judgement and put them on last night until it actually snows.

 

Im in love with your car bro!

 

why, thank you!

 

Would still like to see a pic at driving height.


Not sure if I like these on your car either, they are very distracting, and to be blunt, changed the overall appearance from sophisticated to ghetto.

 

In my opinion, for looks Volans > Rep BBS.

What % is the windscreen tinted?

You ever think to get the mina euro bumper blades and paint them to match?

Thanks and happy holidays. Is this compared to a previous set of wheels you have seen on my car or the way the car came from the factory? Guessing the latter, but who knows.

Edit: found your positive post in winter wheels thread. Yeah, these are about the opposite of the BBS RS look. I generally dislike small 3-piece wheels, but had to try them at least once. They are like a bucket list wheel, every car enthusiast needs a set before they die. I prefer OEM look one piece wheels and think the Porsche twists and these are my favorites. The twists are mega wide and give the car shoulders like the Privat wheels do, but aren't so busy.

Thanks Dave. Pulled the tint off the windscreen. I think about matching the Mina blades almost daily. Some day I will, but it doesn't bother me too much.
