Do they fit the XK8? My dad is being offered the 20 inch wheels from a totaled XF for nearly peanuts. He said the wheels are gorgeous and that they would look great on my car.

 

Bolt pattern is 5x108 instead of 5x120.65, so you need adapters.

And the offsets on the XF are 49 and 66mm, so you would need a REALLY thick adapter.

 

If they are going for peanuts, grab them!!! Try them on the XK8 and if they fit, what a bonus!! If not, you can probably sel them and make a bit of sweet pocket money to use on anything you need for the XK8.
Either way, it's a win win situation.

 

Alright, I'll tell dad.

 

iirc the rear ET was 46 not 66 mm. The ET values are usually stamped inside the wheel.

Both paragon and adamesh have adaptors:
Paragon Design UK - Jaguar XK8 & XKR Wheel Spacer Adapters
Jaguar XK8 XKR Wheel Adaptors
The ones from paragon require some work on the wheels, and are relatively thin (so the rear comes in about 6mm, the front is iirc about right). The Adamesh ones as you can see are very thick, probably pushing out the wheels more.

Best to check the thickness with both to be sure.

 

Just a few days ago I made an inquiry about this set:
https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/p...wheels-116780/

It really is 66mm on an XF, at least for the staggered wheel setup. I was surprised it was so large an offset.

On an XK though, it is more like 36 and 46.

 

Good that you mention this, it shows how important it is to double check the ET for each wheel, as there are different ones for the XF obviously.

 

It turns out my dad bought a 2010 XF supercharged, but he doesn't like 20" wheels, he says the profile of the tires is too small. He wanted to give me those wheels so he could buy a set of 18" wheels. Either way, one of the rims is severely damaged and soldering provides a temporary solution.
