anyone running 20 " rims on their xj6?
I have a 97 XJ6 and was told that the rims from XKRs fit but only up to a certain year... i believe i was told to 2003 but im not exactly sure... which is where u guys come in. when did they change the bolt pattern? Im lookin for 20" jaguar rims from a XKR also anywhere can you guys recommend me getting them from would be great.
im looking for some with a fat lip and white/chrome combo inside or thin spoked chrome

 

As far as I know any X308 rim will fit any X300.

 

Here is a Jaguar bolt patteren chart:

XJ, XK ALL MODELS 2 69-03 5X120.7 Bolt Pattern. The bolt pattern changed in 04.

To run those 20" you will need a very low profile tire 225 or 245 /20 and they give a very rough ride. I'm running 18" with 225 /50 tires. What every you decide to do, go to a tire shop and have them sit a 20"/225 or 245 /20 beside the front and rear wheels wells to get a clear picture of what you will be working with. WARNING there is no room for error once you purchase the rims and tires. Do not mount the the rims if they need wheel adaters. the reason I know I already make these misstakes.

how will i know if the rims will need adaptors? also I think 20" will be very rough, prolly too rough for hawaii's roads. ill prolly go with a 18 or 19 ". i like the spoke pattern u got on urs. what problem did u run into with those rims? also wat kine are they? thanks alot!

 

hi newbie here..sorry to highjack
just bought a 97 xj6 and have been looking for the same info as hawiianjag

cooke
i like your wheels.. those factory or aftermarket
would you mind telling me where you got them and what sizes/offset you went with?

i've been online all weekend looking for 18x8.5 frt and 18x9.5 rears
not sure of the backspacing to go with

 

If the roads are rough run 18”rims with 45 or 50 wall thickness. It will do two things. 1. Give you a smooth ride and fill up the space in the wheel well. The reason I had to use adapters is the bolt pattern on the rims was not one that works on a Jag. The rims are KOYA’s they come from New Zealand.

 

Great information. Very much appreciated, one more question for you if you dont mind... Which would be smoother ride 45 or 50 wall thickness? Thanks bradah, aloha

The 50's are just alittle bigger than 45's. But go with the 45's, also go to a tire dealer and have both tires put beside the car and make your decision.

 

Don't go to a car dealer for anything they will try and sell you another car. GO TO A TIRE AND RIM DEALER THAT KNOWS ABOUT CUSTOM WHEEL COMBINATIONS.
