@rado they're worth the wait, I'm sure you'll be impressed with them

Yeah I hope so . Not a bad price from Bob Jane. With $100 back brings it down to 250 a corner.

Thats a pretty good deal for 215 40 18 I think.

Looking forward to seeing them mounted.

Hi, just for reference what size spacers are required to fit those Jaguar BBS wheels ?

Would these spacers work ?

Any help would be appreciated thanks.

You're on the right track with those spacers but no .
I had mine made by a UK company called Superforma . From memory I think the front is 21mm rear is 27mm , brings the rear out a little more towards the arch .
Also hub centric and wheel centric as i could not find off the shelf items to fit .

I did endup getting 2mm shaved off the rears as they were just rubbing the arch ...

Thanks, I appreciate your quick response. I've contacted Superforma and hopefully things wor

k out. I didn't realize that there weren't any spacers out there that could be a match and direct bolt on. You live and learn. I got the same wheels (Jag BBS) for my C70 T5 1998 which is my project car.

No spacers on rear yet, probably go for 15mm

10mm spacers all round. Will likely put a 15mm on the back, needs the extra 5mm imo (sorry about the obstructive pole)
