Default 17 inch xk8 wheels, will they fit 2001 XJR?

Hello friends,
Looking at a set of winter wheels for my 2001 XJR. I know the bolt pattern from the late '90s xk8 is a fit, but do the 17 inch wheels fit the XJR model? (ie does it have larger brakes that wouldn't allow a down-size to 17 inch? Earlier XJRs ran on 17 inch wheels, but did the brake specs change?). Looking at a set of "revolver" wheels (at least I think that's what they are called).
Thanks!

I could be wrong but I would suspect they would be a straight swap over....same bolt pattern and spacings I believe.

That used to be a common thing to do when the XJR first came out.
