XK8 wheels onto an XKR
Does anybody know if I can fit a stock set of early XK8 wheels (rims) onto an XKR, Mine is a year 2000 XKR with the standard not Brembo brakes.
I was looking at trying to find a full set of the old revolver 17" rims to fit but am worried if there is any offset I need to consider and also the brake disc diameter. I am kind of hoping that both the * and the R use the same brake disk and the same wheel offset.
The whyfore is I need winter tyres (snow) and its a bit of a game and rather pricey to get them for the standard rims on my XKR

As you have standard brakes, yes they will fit, I have an XK8 here with a set of revolvers on it and there is plenty of clearance even allowing for larger discs.
They will be coming off as a set of 20" Selenas from the MK2 XKR will be going on, so if you are after a set I might be able to help you out.

Thanks guys, Yeah, I am simply looking to downsize, I really like my wheels, but trying to get winter tyres, I could buy a small family car for the same kind of money... This snow was a killer and next year it looks like winter tyres will be compulsory, the narrower profile on the KX8 should come in cheaper. Its just for the snowy months.
XKRacer. let me know if you decide to whip yours off. I will be very interested
