I have an 1990 XJ40 and it has metric wheels , these are expencive and difficult to obtain , can anyone please help on what imperial size/s that would fit? i.e.225/55/16 ?
hi thats correct there are 220 65 VR 390 wheels on at the moment,
so if i changed the wheels for 16" rims with the 225/55/16 tyre , it wouldnt scrape on the wheel arch?
many thanks.
yey they fit , thanks for your help , the 16" rims and tyres fit perfectly, thanks , now i can have cheaper tyres and it passed the MOT, bye for now , hope this thread helps others out too.
As I wrote in the specific section of the forum I am considering to get a Jag.
I saw a beautiful XJ40 and she comes with 15'' lattice wheels with 225/65 R15 tyres.
Here's the pic.
I checked the tyres availability and what I found is quite crazy.: A set of 4 is about the equivalent of 1600 US $ here in Italy.
I wonder if:
Option 1: can I fit 215/65 R15 on those lattice? (this size is easy to find and it comes at reasonable price - 630 US $).
Option 2: would it be possible to fit the XJ40 with X300 sport wheels (I think code is mna6113gb) size 16" without having problem of tyres rubbing the arches?.
I post a pic taken from the net just for reference.
I would keep the 15" lattice wheels with their tyres parked in garage and to use them during "special occasion".
Cheers
