Default 19" Apollo wheels

I've got the 19" Apollos on my 03 vert. To me they are the best looking wheels.
I've got a few questions about them. First are the front and rear the same?Can I rotate them? And second I am going to put wheel spacer on the rear as I don't like how far they are inside the wheel wells. Will I have to modify the wheels to use spacers?
As a side note I am putting new shocks and lowering springs along with upgrade
calipers,rotors,pads and braided steel lines.
I've had many muscle cars including a 1970 Nova that my grandparents bought new. My son now owns it. Of all my cars the XK8 vert gets way more compliments from all age groups. I love it.

The Apollo's are staggered, 8" front, 9" rear, you can't rotate them.

As for spacers, it depends which type of spacer you use...

Thanks I wasn't sure. As for spacers where can I get spacers that don't need the wheels modified?

The problem with spacers is that our wheels are hub centric so you must have a hub centric spacer.

Here are a couple vendors:
jaguar suspension and brakes | jaguar wheel spacers

Paragon Design UK - Jaguar XK8 & XKR Wheel Spacer Adapters

So a forum search for wheel spacer and you'll find tons of info

Saw the Paragons it looks like the wheels need to be drilled not sure about the Adamesh. I tried to contact them but no return email. If they do then so be it I don't want to compromise safety.
