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

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!,
