I want to put spacers on the front and back wheels. Many people recommend H&R spacer 20mm for front and 15mm for back. I am also putting lowering springs on it from H&R. However, I read a thread where a guy from Wales was furious that the spacers dont work on the back cause the rear stance was widened starting in 2012. Can anyone give me guidance on the springs and spacers being compatible to what i am trying to do?. The wheels are stock factory that came on the XKR. Thanks for your help

Yes the rear track of the XK was changed for the 2011MY (which AFAIK is cars built 2010 onwards).

Some members have put spacers on thier XK's (2010 onwards) models;

I had the H&R 15mm spacers installed today. No need to trim the existing wheel studs and the set up is just about perfect. The fronts could come out a tad bit more but they are fine as is. The rears are good with one exception. The drivers side inner wheel well liner contacts the tire at times. I looked into it and found that the inner liner does not seem to be installed correctly from the factory.

 

Same experience for me on my 2010 XKR, except I used 20mm spacers on all four wheels. Only rub was a slight one on the driver's side rear wheel. A little liner trimming and I was good to go. This was after lowering the car with the H&R kit as well.

 

I am hoping that a little trimming will be all that is needed. I will give it a look on Monday. By the way I forgot to mention mine is a 2013 XKR with the 35mm springs installed as well.
