Does anyone have 18X8.5 wheels on their X308 XJR? I ordered Coventry Whitley 18X8.5 wheels to replace the 20 inch wheels on my XJR. They didn't come in 18X8. I don't know how wide the 20 inch wheels I now have are. I am hoping 18X8.5 isn't too wide. The tires I ordered are 255/40/18.

I got 18 inch Coventry Whitley wheels to replace the obnoxious 20 inch wheels my XJR had when I bought it.

Those will surely have improved the ride quality, and they look a whole lot better too .

The car looks neat sat on those wheels Steve, they remind me of an X350 rim, a good choice.
Tucana?
