Hello! We hoped someone may advise if we could place 18" or 19" rims on our 1999 xk? Currently, we have 17" Revolver wheels, but would like to use a mid 2000 model wheel. If so, we will sell our rims. The car only has 18k miles, the wheels are perfect. Thank you for your time and valuable advise!

Welcome, Scottishone. Any wheel from the x100 (1996-2006) era will fit your car. You have choices ranging from the 17" you have, all the way up to 20". Good luck and show us some pictures

 

Keith, I have a question: Do I need an adaptor for upgrading to the 19" Apollo wheels? My dad is buying a white '03 XK8 with the aforementioned wheels but he doesn't like driving on thin profile tires so he wants to swap em for my revolvers. Would that be a problem?

 

The only potential problem would be if the 2003 XK8 has the larger brakes that require a larger (18"+) wheel to fit. Given that it is an XK8 and not an XKR, I think the odds are low that it would have the big brakes, but it is something to watch out for. As far as bolt pattern and offset, there are no issues there.

 

Alright! That means I'm getting a set of apollo wheels as a gift! I need to get the front suspension sorted asap before we do the swap!
