Wheel fitment 940.
Hi,
I'm sure this has been asked many times but having searched the forum I can find no definitive answers so here goes.... I understand that my standard 940 15" wheels are a 5 x 108 bolt pattern with an ET of 25mm and a centre bore of 65.1. I've seen a set of wheels from a Jaguar that I fancy which are 5 x 108 and 65.1 but with an as yet unknown offset and are 17". The question is are there any pitfalls I should be aware of ? Any clearance issues likely ? Thanks in advance. Mark. |

Hi Mark,
that sounds suspiciously like the Jag X-Type you've picked there in which case it is likely to have a very strange offset as it's AWD - here's a list of wheel fitments by PCD, if you click on the wheel fitments heading after finding a suitable suspect, you can check the centre bores, offset etc. Going to a larger bore isn't a problem, you can buy spigot rings on ebay no problem but go for the aluminium and not the plastic ones! https://www.carlsalter.com/wheel_fitments_by_pcd.html You should find something fairly easily, perhaps in an unsuspected range!

Hi,
the X-Type wheels are 37-42 according to that list. With 25mm spacers am I likely to get the arch filling appearance and wider track I'm after from those wheels ? |

You have to be really careful when using wheels designed for FWD/AWD on a RWD car and vice versa because of the offsets etc. What wheels/tyres have you got at the moment and what about a Volvo wheel to fit instead?

I was hoping that the extra width of the new wheel and tyre could be spread evenly through the arch if that makes sense, filling out the arch slightly and just a tad inside, say 20mm each way.
The wheels I have are bog standard steels with trims. The way they tuck in so much, particularly on the rear, is almost comical. My intention is to reduce the ride height by around 40mm, fit larger wheels, 16s or 17s and increase the track while doing so. I've never had such a complicated time with wheels as with this model. ETA.... ^^^^^Thats the look I'm after Baggy.......can you tell me more ? |

No pitfalls, you just need to select the right spacers.
