Confused? Yes, there is another manufacturer naming their wheels "Volans," just these are a little bigger.

Four rear 20x9.5 ET66 from a 2010 Jaguar XF-R +25mm spacers. There is about a credit card's clearance between the front strut and inner rim.

Sorry about crappy midnight garage pics. Ok, gonna go take them off now and put the fake BBS back on with winter tires.

Looks like the concrete has been polished. Gives a nice clean finish, we had it done to the shop floor at work.

How much lift do you need to be able to actually turn the wheel?

The car is a really great color :rolleyes:

Why would I want to turn? I love you, man.

Thanks all. These are keepers. I still have the 18x10 twists, 18x9.5 Coventry, and 17x9 fake BBS. Been selling off inventory.

I think the garage floor was polished by previous owner or builder, I just painted the walls, but never touched the floor.

I've always had a soft spot for Jags - except the clunky US market 80's & Taurus look-alike - years. I would honestly love to see the car in the flesh, it looks amazing - I'm sure the stance/poke whatever it's called, has a different 'feel' outside what can be captured in 2d representation. I'm personally too practical of a mindset to ever live with a wheel/tire setup of this type, and can't get over that hurdle. :lol:

Wrong center bore (63.4mm) and would be too much work to mock up. Newer C70 would work and be hot.

Ueber mega hammer hot would be a white bagged P2 or C70 with these color-matched white.
