Does anyone know offhand if these rims will fit my 98 XK8? This is posted in the ad:

Rim Material: Alloy Aspect Ratio: 35
Rim Width: 9.5 Rim Diameter: 20
Offset: -32 Speed Index: Z
Number of Bolts: 5 Tire Brand: Continental Tires
Bolt Pattern: 5x112 Car Type: Passenger/Performance
Hub Bore: 66.56 Overall Diameter: 20
Rim Brand: Forgiato Tire Type: Performance
Rim Structure: Forged Quantity: 4
Section Width: 245

Before anyone criticizes me for not researching, please understand that I am just being cautious as I mostly do engine and suspension work. Wheels and tires were never really my thing. I found these for relatively cheap on craigslist and I need to change my tires anyway.

Thanks,
Marty

 

The xk8 bolt pattern is 5x120.65 and the center bore is 74.1mm, so those definitely will not fit.

 

Unfortunate for me, but thanks for the quick reply.

 

They could be made to fit with adapter spacers as the offset is larger than normal for a 20"

But of course this may negate their value and up the price to something thats made to fit

 

I never really got the whole adapter thing... Are they safe? They obviously effect some sort of driveline geometry, so is wheel bearing damage an issue? And at thinner widths I don't get how the lugs don't poke through and interfere with the wheel.

Also, I know Jaguars are hubcentric, and I see pictures of some adapters that are made with this provision on the wheel side, but I don't know if the hub side is also like this.

Would you happen to know based on the specs I listed how thick the adapters would have to be to properly fill the wheel well?

Thanks

 

Yes you can get away with it without detremental issues as the Jag set up is made to take 20" 10J wheels at the back and 9J at the front even though you are using 9.5J your offset it double that of the original 20" wheels so you can get away with a minimum of a 15mm spacer, however this is all only possible if on the back of the wheels you want to use there is a pocket between the holes to allow the protruding stud to sit into
