Hi everyone
I just picked up a 1996 XJ6 and a 1999 XJ8.
The X300, 96 I’m keeping and the XJ8 my parts car.
I have to use the wheels from the XJ8 because the guy I bought the cars off of wants the wire wheels back.
Long story short the XJ8 wheels are not fitting over the dust cover for the bearings on the XJ6.
Not allowing the wheel to fit flat to the hub and the wheel centers definitely won’t work. The XJ8 is the unit bearing setup and has no dust/grease cap.
Has anyone run into this issue and are you running spacers or adapters to make it work.
If so what thickness are you running ?
Thanks for any info, Duane Gold car is the 99’ XJ8 Front wheel are what I’ll be using
You're in the wrong Forum. This is the X351 Forum, for the current model XJ from 2010 - 2019. Your cars fall into two different forums for 1996 and 1999. You'll need the wheel offsets to determine the spacer thickness.
