Hi how we doing!
Im looking at upgrading my wheels on my 88 Jag Sovereign
Looking at getting after market either 17x7's or 18x7's
Just seeing what people have on thier rides and any thing to watch out for

 

Id also be keen to know. Im also currently looking to replace my wheels on my 88' xj40. Wheels that dont need to be modified and dont cost 10 grand!

 

Waaaaaay back when the Metrics on the daughters '40 needed tyres that cost more than the car, we/she looked at aftermarket, and the offset was an issue, then the stud circumference pattern got in the way.

Soooo, going from memory here.

Jag are 5 X 120.65 stud pattern.

Most aftermarket were 5 X 120, as in GMH etc?. OK, 0.65mm is not much, but it does mean the studs are NOT dead centre in the holes, and the Jags we knew of at that time that had them, had vibration issues.

We looked at "blanks" and getting them drilled to suit, sweet, but then the offset proved messy.

Ended up with a set of s/h X300 wheels on it, in 16".

As I said this was about 15 years ago, and thats about all I remember of that little venture.

I reckon the aftermarket wheel makers have improved in all that times, but I dont have any newer info to add.
