Jaguar XJ8 Spare Tire Fitment Guide
The Jaguar XJ8 used 5x108 mm and 5x4.75" (5x120.7 mm) bolt pattern variations from 1998 to 2009 along with tire diameters ranging from 26.0" to 27.3" tall. Using a temporary compact spare tire with a diameter close to the standard tire has many benefits, especially for modern vehicles with larger brake calipers and anti-lock brakes or traction control systems.
The tire diameter and the wheel diameter clearance have been taken into account for the specific Jaguar XJ8 years and options. In this case, a 145/60R20 temporary spare tire is the recommendation for all applications. We've provided a breakdown by vehicle generation and model specifics to help you find the correct Jaguar XJ8 spare tire.
