I am in the process of reconverting (is that a real word) my wheels from 20 inch to standard 17 inch. What type of lug nuts should I use for my 17 inch wheels? I'm hoping that they are pretty much standard at most auto supply stores.

John,
You recently joined the Forum and it appears that you posted your inquiry in the wrong Forum for your car. You don't have a signature and your Public Profile doesn't include the required year and model of your car. You said that you have an XK8, which is the X100 Forum for steel-body models. This is the X150 Forum, for aluminum-body models from 2007 to 2015. The Jaguar factory never fitted X150 models with 17" wheels.

Nevertheless, OEM Jaguar 2-piece lug nuts are identical for both X100 and X150 models, regardless of wheel size

You also didn't say if you plan to use OEM Jaguar 17" wheels or aftermarket wheels. The lug nuts depend on the wheels, and OEM Jaguar nuts might not be correct for aftermarket wheels. Be careful when buying aftermarket wheels and make sure that they will properly fit your car.

The Forum has more posts about lug nuts than dogs have fleas. Use Google and start your search with "Jaguar X100 Forums" followed by several key words for what you want to know.

Good luck!

Stuart

You should repost your inquiry in the X100 Forum.

 

As always, good advice direct and to the point.
