Will 2001 jaguar 16 inch rims fit a 1995 xj6? Which already has 16 inch factory rims.

THANKS

 

VDP wheels with 'hubcaps' will fit.

Another rim question for you, Bob...will XK8 17" Lamina rims work on a 97 XJR? I didn't have a problem with them on my 97 VDP but wanted to make sure.

 

The main problem with the X300 style front hubs is that they have tapered roller bearing spindles and the X308/X100 have a press-in one piece bearing hub that is 'flatter'. The bearing cap on the end of the spindle sticks out too far and the hub diameter is different for the wheel center.

I don't have a cross reference chart to know what will fit what but I remember the X308 VDP wheels have that hub cap that will cover the extended spindle of the XJ40/X300 style front hubs. Some of the other X308/X100 wheels will not allow the wheel center cap to be installed with the spindle/bearing metal cap in place.

I have a brand new 17" Lamina wheel in a box and I have a 1992 XJ40 so someday I might try to fit the wheel to the car if I have it in the shop for some 'wheel-off' maintenance.

It was easier to try these thing when I worked at the dealer because we had so many different models/years in the shop at once. You could walk over to another guy and ask to borrow a customers wheel to try on a car on another lift.

I don't know if there is a comprehensive list of compatible wheels/cars!!
