Stuart,
"To enable that 19" compact spare to fit on the rear, I ordered one custom-made spacer from Motorsport-Tech in Nevada. Lennie Jr. is a great guy to work with and I recommend him highly! Spacer specs are as follows: hub centric, thickness 7mm, bolt pattern 5x108mm, hub diameter 63.4."
I am not seeing hub diameter of 63.4 but 63.3 instead?
Should I select the center bore to be 63.4?
Thanks in advance.

Yes, 63.4 is the correct center bore. Go to Custom Wheel Adapters, Wheel Spacers, Hub Rings for your car! | Motorsport Tech and then enter year, make, model and it will bring up the correct specs. Click on Hub Centric to Vehicle and Wheel Centric to Wheel, and continue. Then select spacer thickness 7mm, click continue and select center bore 63.4 and continue. Order quantity 1. The Price for 1 before tax and shipping is $35.

If you are not seeing the above choices, try a different browser.

Stuart,It looks like I do not have Alcon brake package (my calipers are the red ones with Jaguar on it for the front and nothing written for the back). Can I just get the black 19" spare tire? or should I get the spacer as well to be safe?

Thanks,

Guillaume

Since you don't have Alcons, you don't need the XJ spare or the spacer. A compact spare was standard equipment, except for X150s equipped with run-flat tires or Alcons. Check eBay for a used spare or Forum vendors for a new one. You'll need the jack, tools, and foam tray if you don't already have them.

In the meantime, keep a Bible in your trunk and pray that you don't have a flat!

P.S. I just checked your personal profile and saw that you have a 2012 XKR-S. I'm not sure if my advice is correct. Best to check with your Jaguar dealer's parts department. Or maybe another Forum member knows the answer.
