I have an opportunity to purchase for my 05 Super V8 for under $900. 19" Jaguar Tobias Wheels and Near New Pirelli P-Zero Nero A/S tires.

The wheels are blemish free. The tires have about 4000 miles on them. I have the stock wheels on my 05 super v8 but they have blizzaks on them right now. I don't drive the car in winter. End result will swap the blizzaks in spring with the new wheels/ tires

My primary concern is a quiet ride at highway speeds. Obviously blizzaks are loud. Would appreciate feedback. Thanks as always.

 

Sounds like a good deal to me. Nice looking rim as well

 

they would fit, possibly wrong offset. I looked at some for my XJR and fronts would be ok, but rears no way.

 

Agreeing with Albert's post above; if the rears on the Tobias you are considering are 10 inch this may not work. I say this only because I have staggered xk rims 8.5 and 9.5 in the rear and there is not much room left over on my 05 Super.

Good luck, I would love to see this work, please keep us posted.

Thanks gentleman. I agree the 10" wouldn't work. I've already contacted to the seller and asked for the specifics on the wheel sizes, confirm they are or are not staggered, and tire sizes as well. Waiting on his reply. His ad indicated that he pulled them from a 2010 XJ and used them on his 04 XJR, so they are likely 8.5" width, but I clearly need more detail.

Oddly enough, my own repair manual offers no information on my 05 Super V8 OEM wheel specs (offset and center bore, width etc) so although it's -10 degrees right now, I'll need to pull the spare and measure as I'm not sure the 5 spoke stock wheel dimensions is but will verify it's 8 or 8.5.

I will report back.

 

Thank you again for your help. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear they'll work out.

The owner indicated They bolted right on. No rub. There was only 10mm clearance to the inner fender well on the rears but other than that it was clean as could be. No change in handling. He said I was welcome to test fit them so I may give that a shot.

 

I've received a couple of PM's on this and in looking back, never closed it out. As that can be frustrating, and this won't be much help to those interested in putting Tobia wheels on, I elected to go a different route entirely.
I ended up going with 18" Tucana wheels and Michelin Pilots. Soft ride, I'm happy with my decision.

 

I have this setup on my '08 358R (19x10 in the rear, 19x9 up front). I will take some good pics this weekend and post the same (here is a really bad pic for now). No rubbing, no issues, ride is great. This setup came on my car, as the OE's were bent up at usual and the PO got these as takeoffs from the local dealer. 275/40's in the rear, 245/45 up front.

No weird pooch, etc.

I will yank the rear's and verify ET as well, but I was told they were pulled from a '13 XJ. Admitally, the fronts could use a 5-10mm spacer, but that's splitting hairs.

More to come.



Thanks,

Jeff

 

Looks nice, I'm thinking about going this route with our '05 XJ8, interested to see more photos if you have them.

 

While I was on my way to pick up a set of Aleutians, I was hoping to find a reference or picture of a x350 car with 'new' generation rims. I recalled this thread, though I did not recall posting. It seems that my earlier post is not accurate.



Well, I am here to provide an update. Today, it is confirmed that 'new' Aleutians fit on 2004 XJR.

As stated above, there is only about a cm of clearance between the rear wheel and the wheel arch liner.

So far so good.

Did a short 5 mile drive with no issues.

-thanks

Forgot to mention that these are 9 inch fronts and 10 inch rears.

These have the 245 40 19 and 275 40 19 pirelli pZero Nero tires.

Thanks

Those look great!! My Tobias need a re-finish, but I'd rather source those.

A 10" rear looks best on our cars IMO, fills the well perfectly / I love it on my car.

Well done.

Jeff

 

Great choice! I picked up some as well a couple months ago... I haven't installed them yet because I need to replace the rear air struts and I'm afraid when they "sag" the small clearance in the rear will cause issues. I did test fit them though.

 

The clearance that has been mentioned, I'm glad to hear others haven't had issues with this so far...

 

Good looking car!

That's a great pic to illustrate the gap. Not too much, so far so good for my car.

Thanks
Mag

 

I got wheels off a 2011 for my 06 Super 8 and put the 255/35-20 on all the way around. No trouble so far.
