Offset for the Venus 7-Spoke 18x8?
Trying to find solid data on the Venus 7-Spoke 18x8, sold on the 2007 XK
Does anyone have anything? Offset would be a good start. Were they staggered (I see different tire sizes front and rear mentioned with them yet both F/R are 8")?
As Tire Rack shows zero 18" rims available. I don't even have a starting point to find inside clearances (to clear the calipers).
I've called companies like Enkei in the past, and had them line up matches, but not without more info than I can find on these Venus rims so far.
Thanks for your troubles,
Vince

Ive asked similar over in the wheels section and got no response so thought I would try the crew that actually drives the XK.

I'd like to know these as well. It's likely that Jag Parts may be able to get some of this info. I'd really like to try and put a little more rubber out back, but without some of that basic info to start, I'm not sure how far to go. I was considering driving down to Kent to go see Fikse and see what they thought. I suspect that we don't have very many people messing around with rims on these cars.
OK,
So i found a bit more data to add to the question on 18" rims.
A call to tirerack finds they use to have 18's but no longer carry them. didnt get the brand....
fronts were 18"x8.5 with 46mm offset. Rears were 18"x 9.5" with 35mm offset.
Coventry makes 18"ers , same widths but 42mm front and 25mm rears...
just more data for the memory banks....Vince
