Hopefully SOMEONE might know...

...the wheel offset for a Jaguar? I managed to obtain a set of 17" rims with 235/45ZR17 tires from a Jaguar, as they have the same PCD as my Z28. Unfortunately, they sit in the arches a little too far and the front ones rub the inner arch linings at full lock. I'd like to space them out a little, but I'm unsure how much.

Any help would be appreciated!

Si

Lets see some pictures of what they look like. I can't help you on your question, but I would like to see what they look like.

82firebird : Yes thankyou, that helps a heck of a lot. Thanks again!!

bad84z : I have no photos of my wheels, as they came straight off the car once I discovered they had fitting issues. I've found a similar wheel on the net, but try to imagine the spokes have grooves running down the middle of them :

And here's a real quick photoshop job of them on my car. They are a little different to this, but still 6 spoke.
