What’s up my Brothers?… and Sisters! Again I need to reach out for help getting my Baby righteous!
My 2003 XK8 coupe came with aftermarkets mounted. So Mission #1 was get originals back.
I got ‘em yesterday…rims & tires all correct 19” Apollo’s, however, I have Zero lug nuts.
I’m not sure the “standard” lugs fit correctly, as I found when the “OEM’ replacement for AdvanceAuto weren’t right.
The shaft is too big to enter the wheel holes & shaft appears too long. No one else has them in stock to test…all must order.
I found a few “Standard shaft” lugs that look correct, but no one gives a description nor will verify fitment w/ Apollo Alloys.

I know the correct Lugs are MAG-type w/washer. 1.Can you verify the thread pattern for XK8 Coupe Base for me?

I know Jaguar’s 2003 XK8 Standard lug part # MNA6266AA
I have gotten the idea that the Apollo Mag lugs are unique from standard.
2. Is this a correct or incorrect idea?

3.Do you know the Specs / part number / Website etc… of best correct or Even UPGRADED Apollo Mag Lugs?
Online gives me 20 variations of lugs that say they fit, but are vastly different. Many not even close… but say they fit.
The OEM nuts from JaguarCorp have a rep of losing shape or the whole cap & don’t even look chromed onscreen.
So an Upgraded version is preferable, but not a big deal.

Thanks Again All for commenting anything constructive or somewhat related! Ride on………..

 

My car came with a set of Apollos that I have since replaced with Hydras. I kept the lug nuts (standard Jaguar I believe), they transferred right over. To my knowledge, the standard set with the funky aluminum cap and washer fits all the wheels.

You can do a search limited to this site for XK8/XKR lug nuts. There are several threads with various options, including after market, some largely out of date. There is likely enough information to figure things out and reach out to one of the eBay sellers. I agree that online fitment information for lug nuts is widely inaccurate and more than frustrating.

Best of luck, keep us posted.

 

Thank fmertz, that’s one good piece of evidence that they are standard if they fit with other stock wheels.
Wow, I like the Hydras too. That twist curves make it match the car curves well! They would be my 2nd OEM pick right now after Apollo’s. Nice!

Yes, I am very much trying to find an Updraded “Worthy-Looking” Lugs!
Those funky capped ones make me want plastic chrome Lug Caps. It’s a shame.
Thanks again fmerts. I really appreciate you stepping up for me again!

 

When I restored a set of badly damaged Apollos I selected these lugs. More about them here.

Got em on ebay. I like them. The washer is separate from the lug on these.

 

Hey Rothwell, thanks for the info.
Those beautiful lugs are no longer listed on eBay.
I appreciate the effort… those would’ve been perfect!
At least I can get the Amadesh version and know they fit correctly. Thanks
I’ll likely be restoring some road rash on these wheels too.

 

Okay Rothwell I called the number on a pic from a link you gave.
They set me up with a set in five minutes. Thanks!
