Default Wheel spacers

Wheel Spacers… to do or not to do, that is the question. Thinking of putting on some H n R hub centric spacers (25mm) aprx 1" just on the rear of an 07 XK. I know that there are a lot who say no and others who say its fine as long as they are quality hub centric spacers specific for the car. Anyone out there who can speak first hand on their experience on rear wheel spacers? They would be holding stock 19" wheels. Probably not doing the front wheels.
Thanks

I replaced my 20" senteas with aftermarket wheels, they had the same offset front and back. H&R hubcentric. 15mm rears and 20mm fronts, just perfect. They make the car have a better stance and the front handles better.If you do the back , do the front s also. The handiest way i found to measure mine was, i got a builders level. put it vertical from the ground and when the bubble is level measure the distance from the outside of the rim to the inside of the level, 5,10, 15mm, you will get an idea of where the wheel will end up.
Just click the post below and you'll see what i mean,

Like "powerhouse" said. I also used 20mm spacers on the front wheels and 15mm on the rears. I did not have to cut the lugnuts on my '10 XKR with 20" wheels as opposed to the '08 XK with 19"wheels where I had to cut the leading, non-threaded part of the rear lug nuts to prevent them from touching the inside of the wheels.

Car looks better with the wider stance and I can feel the additional handling help, as well.

20" Sentas with up to 25mm on front look good and line with fender perfectly. Have not had any rubbing on the front. 25mm on the rear will have some rubbing under a hard bump. I'm going to mill some 20mm and see if that works.
Keep in mind if you plan to add lower springs, as that will have an impact on selection.

I'm selling my H&R 15mm & 20mm spacers if anyone is interested. I bought them new and they are 1 year old. The Jag lugs are not included.

Default Let's do the deal

Thanks Jeremy!
Send me a Paypal invoice (same email as before) and we'll do the deal!
I hope this is readable, as I can't see what I'm typing on my phone.
Something changed last night on this website.

Lots off info here. I see that most seem to have placed 15mm in rear and 20mm in front. I would really like to do 20mm on all 4 corners. I have the stock 19" wheels and am currently not thinking of lowering the vehicle. Anyone mounted or know of someone who mounted 20mm hub centric on rears with stock 19"? if so, I would appreciate receiving info on outcome before I order HnR 20mm hub centric spacers.

Thanks…...
