Wheels
Hey guys, I see tons of post on here about rims but I don't see any on here about this. I have a 1995 xj6 I would like to put factory xjr bbs Milan 18" wheels on it. Those are my favorite of all the factory Jag rims and I want to keep it all Jaguar. I found a couple sets on ebay one guy said they would fit my car but I wanted to check with you guys to see what you thought. It says the make is Jaguar 120.65 18" by 8.5 the offset is 33. The part # is mxd6154ac. I would appreciate any thoughts or knowledge.

Milans will fit & assuming they're coming straight from an X308, should be ok tyre size wise. They'll compromise ride comfort somewhat though!
The ones in the picture are 'Dimple'.

I have X308/XJ8 wheels on my 1995 X300/XJR. These are the ordinary XJ8 wheels.
FWIW.....
They fit fine *except* that they foul the front wheel bearing caps thus preventing the wheel from fully seating on the hub. Some minor 'field modifications' on the wheel bearing caps and all's well.
Not sure if the same would happen using X308/XJR wheels. Just thought I'd throw it out there.

Yeah I realize its not going to quite float like it does probably take the bumps a little less smooth I just love the way they look in person. 4litre: Nice put some pics up on here when you get it. You'll be hooked after you get one theres nothing like it, and I sell cars for a living driving most of the newer stuff out there is still nothing out there that makes me happier than driving a Jag. Hey Doug what do you mean by field modifications what did you have to do to make them fit?
