My third set are Dayton, they came fitted on an XJS that had been imported from Florida. Presumed that as the previous MWS Jaguar whells fitted that these would too........wrong!
Rears fit fine but I had to use 3mm spacers on the front and grind the caliper body slightly.
o 3 sets and they all fit slightly differently.

If you were buying new I would suggest using proper knock offs with custom hubs. The hubs are expensive but the wheels are cheaper.
Thank you! Appreciate the quick answer. Just finished reading your old wheel thread too.
