Space saver wheel

[PaulAskill]

Does anyone know the correct size/part number of the space saver wheel suitable for a 2010 5.0L supercharged 510 BHP?

Don’t know the part number however, you should be looking for the 19 inch space saver. Google may be your friend here.😎

Mine is a 2011 XK Convertible NA,I  bought one off E Bay as new and unused, it was from an XF and size 135  80  R18, it fits on the car and in the boot alongside the tool kit once the lower insert is taken out. If I get a puncture though the 20" wheel that comes off wont go in my boot but if you have a coupe you wont have the same problem. I bought a wheel bag to leave in the boot in case I ever need to pop one on the back seat.

R18 is ok for a NA Rob though it won’t fit on a XKR due to the bigger callipers.😊

Hi Paul,

 

I went through the same problem. I contacted local Jag dealer in Kent the part number is XR8 53595 and it is an 18 inch rim and red in colour. Unfortunately they are not stocked by Jaguar anymore and the only place to find one with the insert tool kit is eBay and slightly used.

 

Hope this helps. 

Mine is a 2014 XKR convertible so if I do have a puncher it will be cosy in the back seat when running on the spare, lol.

 

Cheers

Andrew

Hi Andrew, I assume you have not yet undertaken a trial fit of your 18 inch space saver, at least to the front axle of your XKR? As Jim has stated above, the 18 inch, red wheel WILL NOT FIT the XKR as a consequence of the larger front brake callipers. It has to be the 19 inch space saver for the XKR, which in Jaguar supplied days was black in colour, whilst the 18 inch was red. Nowadays, there are multiple companies offering space saver spare wheels and one can no longer rely on selecting by the colour of the wheel. I have spotted black space savers that are only 18 inch.

Anyone who needs / wants to procure a space saver spare wheel needs to take due care and attention so as not to be caught out. And, DEFINATELY do not elect to purchase a suitable standard (front) road wheel as that would be dangerous if fitted to the car in a puncture situation. In these cases, it is not a diameter issue to fit over the rear callipers, but it is an "offset" issue to avoid binding on the spokes on the rear.

Look at a company called Road Hero, who use Kwik Fit as a retail agent.  They offer a complete kit, including chocks and jack, which all came with the Jaguar supplied version.
