Ok, but you must have had yours aligned. Mine went through the front edge of the tires in 6k miles!

So I'm about to order the H&R 15mm for my 11' XKR. The part # is 3035634. Apparently Volvo's share that part???

The specs are: Trak+ 15mm DRM Wheel Adaptor Bolt 5/108 Center Bore 63.3 Stud Thread 12x1.5.

Is that correct?

Order from here:

H&R 3035634 Trak+ 15mm DRM Wheel Adaptor Bolt 5/108 Center Bore 63.3 Stud Thread 12x1.5

Interesting that Body kits, Car Body Kits, Auto Accessories- Lowest Prices! doesn't list this part for 2010+ XKR. Yet here is the same part for Volvo:
H&R Wheel Spacers For Volvo C30 2007-up 15mm (3035634)

Little bit of savings here:
H&R Trak+ DRM Wheel Adaptor Bolt Center Bore 63.3 Stud Thread [3035634] - $140.39 : Jay Racing

Ah here is XK fitment listed finally. Also best price so far:
H&R TRAK Spacers & Adapters JAGUAR XF 2009 - 2012 3035634

I do wonder why the 20mm from pre 10' won't work on newer XK's. Particularly up front where the wheels sit in too far.

I have noticed the wear on the inside of both front tyres, got my tracking, toe, and camber done on front and tracking done on rear, that solved the issue no more irregular wear cost me 60Ł for a full aligement at a specialist garage. Cheers

Pacio, I'm wondering if the 15mm front and rear that I ordered will be enough considering you have 20mm and your front still sits in a bit. Perhaps the offset of the 2010+ wheels is lower so 15mm will fit like 20mm ;-)

Lowered my convertible and added the spacers as well. Very impressed by the comfort, performance, & new stance. Have only scraped once on a somewhat steep incline to a driveway. 2 thumbs up!

Thanks for the input, which springs did you go with?

I've had the lowering springs for 2-3 years now. Here is the PP lowering springs.






Near the end of my friend's vid in my sig below...you can also get a sense of how much of a drop with the PP springs.

very nice jaaaaag

Evoking, I'm about to order up the H&R kit (3035634) for my 2012 XKR. Since you are the only one I know of who has done this with a 2010+ can you share how the kit worked out on your 2011?

Was the 15mm enough?

Any fitment issues when reinstalling the wheels once the spacers were in place (cutting of threads, etc.)?

Thanks for any feedback!

Bob

that looks killer. I have an 07 xkr with the same 19's and I was just wondering if you have the h&r's and if the 20mm rear and 15mm front caused any rubbing. tnx.

Some instructions?

Thanks
