Hello all, I am looking at getting some new wheels for my jag. I am looking at a wheel from a BMW 318, the A9 sport edition ( Sport Edition A9 Titanium Gunmetal )

16x7.5 with a 35mm offset and a 5x120mm bolt pattern.
I'd like to use my current tires (225/60R16) I am curious to know if this wheel will work with my tire on this car.


Thank you!

 

Bcrary,

I guess you did your homework before looking at BMW rims.

Just be sure the new rims are working as hub-centric rims (that means exact required inside diameter), or are made to be hub-centric (machined or with hub-centric adapters), and fitted with the correct type of wheel lugs.

Be also sure the hub center hole is large enough for the Jaguar hub, otherwise it will need to be bored out and you might have problems fitting a center cover (those Jaguar hubs really stick out on the front).

Technical aside, you should be fine with your existing 225/60 tires, although I myself should take the opportunity to go for at least a 17" rim, and a bit wider....

 

For x308s I would stick to 5 series models wheels, specifically the e39 as the offset and hub bore is correct. Three series wheels gernerally have a smaller hub size than 74.1

 

I'd love to go with a 17 or an 18 inch wheel, the issue is I just bought these tires and I don't want to spend $1400+ for new wheels+tires (trust me, I found some 18"s that I loved on CarID made by Coventry). Regarding the hub diameter, how can I find out if they are the same size hub?

The particular reason I like these wheels is they are sporty, 16" (I want to use my brand new tires) and they are fairly inexpensive. I was planning to order one, and put it on and see how it fit. Would they look stupid on the VDP? Haha (I'd be going with the silver ones). Also, what type of lug would be required for this type of wheel? I do not intend to keep the ones that are on the car.
