Pentas on XJR V8 with big Brembos - doable?

[judas]

Quick question - will Pentas fit over the big Brembo brakes on a 2000 XJR V8? My car currently has the Milan(?) split rims and they're looking a bit shabby and I'm in two minds as to whether I actually like them or not. I can get hold of a set of Pentas for about £230, which would probably be cheaper than having the current wheels refurbed.

My 2001 XJR also has the Brembos and Milans. Although I know they have the same size tyres (255/40-18) I have never seen Pentas on a car with Brembos, so I didn't think it was possible? I'm sure someone will shoot me down if I am wrong? Depending how bad your Milans are £60 per wheel should get them looking better.

18" will fit over, the ofset maybe a problem

Nothing that a 20mm spacer won't sort out

Thanks chaps - something to ponder on, though it looks like the Pentas take 245/45/18 tyres rather than the 255/40/18s on the Milans, so the cost of new wheels + spacers + new tyres makes it a much less attractive proposition

I had pentas and now have milans and they both took 255 40 18 tyres. I don't have Brembos so can comment on the fitment.

Yes...will need spacers.
