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.

 

Up to 2003 will have no issues. They'll be fine on your car...post some pics when can too

 

Thanks man I appreciate it. This is my second xj6 first was an 89 after that I was hooked. Got big plans for it, I'll put some pics up after I do it the plan is before summer. This is it right now.

 

You're welcome bro! I haven't had one yet but, this week a '97 (my 1st) is lined up for me. Just have to get through the snow! Looking forward to see your car! BTW the Milan wheels are SWEET!!!

 

Are the current wheels diamond turned Kiwi? I have them on my '96 Sovereign. They were well corrode but I just cleaned them up with a buffer. Removed a lot of rubbish lacquer. I need to get a professional job done on them.

 

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?

 

I've also got X308 wheels (Celtics in my case) - no mods needed here, so it's not a given. & I assume by field modifications, Doug is referring to a spot of percussive maintenance (hit it with something heavy).

 

Which is in the same repair technique category as 'pressure adjustment' (bend it until it fits)

I really like the sport look of the Arden wheels:
