Hi,

A mate of mine wants a set of alloys for his X-type. It has 16's on at the moment and he fancies something a little bigger.

Do S-type or XJ series alloys fit or does anyone have any other recommendations?

He doesnt want to pay main dealer prices either, so if anyone can recommend a decent supplier, this would also be appreciated.

Thanks,
Alex

Interesting. I'm a little muddled by all the different dimensions. We have found a set on ebay:

Metal Type: Aluminium
Stud Diameter: 108
Rim Width: 8J
Brand: Jaguar
Rim Diameter: 18 inches
Rim Structure: One Piece
Offset: 49
Number of studs: 5

"Set of 4, BRAND NEW 8x18" 'Silverstone' alloy wheels made by Technomagnesio in Italy for Jaguar! (No cheap Chinese rubbish here!!) These 5(stud)x108pcd, offset et49, specifically to fit Jaguar new XJ range, as well as the S and X Type"

I'm a bit concerned by the Offset being 49. Is this really too big for an X-type?
What Rim Width is ok?
