I really want those side skirts...

This is a site I've found that is the best for all wheel fitment questions.

Wheel-size.com.

not that you need it now, but the site allows you to find the car you have, it knows the rim and tire specs, and then input the desired fitment.

It then compares and shows in table form all the changes effects, and animates what the changes look like, the spacers you need, how the speedometer changes due to new tires/rim size and more.

Site was a great help when I changed my 05 super v8 XJ wheels from 19 inch to 18, and especially so because I bought the 18 inch rims from XK owners (forget the year of donor cars, 2012 i think.).

Site showed that bolt pattern was same, offset was same, showed scrub, showed how speedometer calc. speed w different rim size etc - all the crucial parameters plus an animation of the new vs old set up, and makes recommendations as to safety, tire wear etc.

it is a great resource, I think.

I have to say I like the look... Won't go back unless something happens. Speaking of,,,,

I'm not comfortable with the 1inch spacers. I want to go down to just enough space where I feel comfortable with the clearance of the steering arms, and such. And, that the decorative caps will fit. Importance not in that order.

I've been driving around a bit, have yet to get on the highway but will tonight, and I have to say, the drive is not so bad, not so bad at all, with the wider wheels OR the spacers. We'll see what happens on the highway.

A member here says he's got a set of hubs. Good shape and what I want to try to do is grab those and install a set of lug bolts that are 20mm longer than OE so I can run a 10 or 15mm (at the most) hub centric non bolt on spacer and see how that goes.

Is there a source for longer bolts for these hubs?
Anyone?
What do I need to be thinking about?
