Default XJR Wheel Swap?

Last January I purchased a 2008 XJR with 20" BBS 5 Spoke wheels. While I love the look I am not as pleased with the ride, this is Jaguar #10. My 2004 XJ8 had 18" wheels and a very comfortable ride. Does anyone know if the 2008 XJR can be fitted with 18" wheels or is there an issue with the calipers. I don't think by going to 19's I would see much ride improvement.


Thanks' for any information.

I temporarily fitted a set of spare 18in 'dynamic' base rims to my 05 super v8. Cleared the Brembos just fine...

Possible that the 08-09 offset is different to the point that it may effect the use of wheels such as the 18" dynamic, but they certainly do fit on the 05.

Perhaps others can confirm.

Thanks
