I am hoping someone has tried and succeeded, I have a 2010 XKR and I have by accident bought a set of F type wheels. They are 10.5 inch wide instead of what I have which are 9.5 wide. Should I try and fit them or am I going to have issues?

Any help or advise car would be appreciated.

Tried to take a picture but they are black gloss so the numbers become eligible they are the gyrodyne wheels and they are 10.5j and 38mm rear and 9j 55mm.

If I get time this week I’ll swap the tyres from my current alloys to these and see what happens

Thanks for the advice, the tyres are the same 295 on the rear and 255 on the front it’s only the rear rims are an inch wider. I have the 20inch XKR wheels and instead of a £500 refurb I thought I would get a different design. Once I have them on the car I’ll state the update, hopefully it might help someone else.

Good news, I thought I should updat the thread. They fit and I’m chuffed. No rubbing over speed bumps, fronts have got a 20mm space and the backs are feet. Phew I was a little nervous
