OK, so in my efforts to swap out my wheels i'm doing some digging and just need my brain confirmed by all the experts on this.

From what I've read, in 2011 Jaguar increased the rear offest by +15mm (from 25mm to 40mm). So you could use a Pre-2011 XK/XKR rim on a +2011 XK/XKR with a spacer but you can't go the other way around, can't put a 2011+ rim on a Pre-2011? Correct??

Thanks!

 

If the engine is a 5.0 then it has an "e-diff". If it has the e-diff then it has the higher offset wheels. So yes, you could use the newer wheels on an older car with spacers but not the other way around.

 

yep, it's the 5.0L. Thank you!

 

e-diff was only on the XKR, correct?

 

 

i think i'm back-asswards.

Since they increased the wheel offset in 2011 by 15mm, using a spacer would essential subtract from the offset meaning a 2011 wheel would work on a 2008 XKR with a 15-20mm spacer on it. But can't go they other way around. truth??

 

 

I had a set of 20" left over from my prvious 07 XK that I tried on my 12 vert.....the fronts have the same off-set so were no problem but the rears rubbed the wheel arch quite badly.

 

right - you can only go backwards. putting the 11's on the 07.

 

 

Dang it!
I was hoping to swap rims between my 07 XK and my 2010 XKR! If Im keeping the XK, I like the XKR rims a lot better! (plus they have new tires on them)
