thinking of going for something different, i am looking at a set of 16" alloys from a 1992 xj6
XJ, XK All Models 69 - on 16x7 5x120.7, offset 20+
bore 74.1 I think anyway as done quick search.
also need spigots would i need adapters and spigots made up or is there off shelf ???

you can get adaptors specially made up to fit virtually any wheels....and you could use the o.e jag spiggots too (pm len as I'm sure he's running custom adaptors with his subaru wheels?) the main issue could be offset etc as spacers/adaptors will me a min of 20mm

boneybradley you are a star m8 absolute star. as there a cracking set of bbs looking badboys on one in local srapper and i like porsche and merc alloys but price is too steep. Any idea of cost?(main factor as u posted on my last thread and i trying to get this all done b4 poss p.45) i will pm len 2 bend his ear.
cheers

If the offset is 20, then your going to struggle getting them to fit as with 20mm adaptors the final offset will be 0.

you will need a set of custom adaptors as the jag will use 5x120.7 pcd and im guessing you have 5x100 ?
5x120.7 - 5x100 are not readily available and you would have to use bmw5x120 - 5x100 with an appropriate spigot ring,
by the time you have done all of that and bought tyres and then refurbed the rims you will have a very expensive set of heavy old jag wheels!,

thanks for info after cheking them out in person they will need a professional referb and as you say they are bloody heavy(picked one up and i aint a small bloke there a big difference)
