The pre-Au Ford alloys need to be bored to fit an Xj and they are also illegal to use unless they are load rated...
I also tried this....
The offset was different which means they sit 1" further out, it made the stock 225's "look chunkier"....

What are they off JJ? I'm after a wider trackwidth in 15" if possible, will probably end up with a set of Procomp Series 97's though I reckon...

I used a rotary burr,but it must be for alloy as a finer one will clog too often.

hmmm this thread has got me thinking, maybe i will go with 16" rims instead (greater choice of tires),
If i get some 16" rims from a 96 ZJ for my 99 XJ, what tire size can i go with - will 205/80 R16 fit on the ZJ rims - with no rubbing or backspacing mods required?

Can anybody say cheese cutters?
Why not go for something like a 235/70/16 which is about the same diameter also with no issues as these are only a 30" tyre...
