Does anyone know if the funky XJR wheels will go on an XJ8?
I also assume they're 17" compared to the XJ's 16"?

X300's by the way.

They will. If you mean the Asteroid wheels on the X308 XJR they are 18" not 17"

The Celtics are 17" and the rest fitted as standard to the 2000 model year are 16"

17" tyres are a lot more expensive in standard Jaguar sizes than 16" 'tho, and there's a smaller choice of brands too.

You'll compromise ride quality as well. Google TRC Tyre Calculator to get the numbers for relative comfort index for comparison between the two.
