Just a quick question does anybody know what stud patterns fit the jaguar.
Im thinking about putting some mags on it and was wondering which other model cars use the same stud pattern.

Thanks in Advance.

I replaced the original Kent wheels in my '84 with different wheels but I used Jaguar wheels, i.e., '92 XJ Teardrop wheels with solid hubcaps which require a spacer in the front to fit the S3 XJ front depth. ( I like a 'smooth' look in wheels, not 'Star' shapes ). I also installed tinted film. My car is Grosvenor Brown, so the film is brown; For my taste, it looks awesome, like a giant NestlÚ's chocolate bar in the shape of an XJ. If your car is a Show Car, forget it, Judges won't even look at it. If it's a driver, do what you like. I also replaced the School Bus steering wheel with a 15" Momo. Now I know why they put a 16"+ steering wheel in the XJ. At 120 mph, it makes a difference in the control of the car. The XJ is very heavy. There's a fellow around here who installed 17" chromed wheels in his XJ. Looks awesome but I imagine the ride is back-breaking.

The stud pattern is 4.75"x5, same as many GM applications. BMW uses a 5x120mm (4.72") bolt pattern that's very close, but not precisely correct. Note that the Jag uses a 1/2" stud, Chevy uses a 7/16" stud, BMW uses a 12mm stud, so that may require some fiddling. The wheels are hub centric, meaning that the center of the wheel must mate to the center of the hub. I'm not sure whether either Chevy or BMW wheels will mate without machining.
