Tyre 205/70R15
Tube Tubeless

This wheel has always been tubeless. Tubes are only required if fitting tube-type tyres.

If you are using tube-type tyres or wish to fit a tube for any other reason then you will need 195/205 x 15 tubes and we recommend 15"/16" rim bands.
Notes The standard wheel was an alloy or a Rostyle - did not have a wire wheel option originally.

This wheel is suitable for vehicles manufactured up to 1993. It will not fit vehicles manufactured from 1994 due to clearance problems with the callipers.


If you have older wheels then the XW716/718/725/727/775 centre caps (diameter = 72mm) may be more similar to your old caps than the current XW715/731 caps (diameter = 94mm)

P.C.D. is the Pitch Circle Diameter and is the diameter of an imaginary circle drawn through the centres of the holes, click here for instructions on measuring PCDs

All MWS bolt-on wire wheels are supplied with the appropriate nuts, caps and wrench. Replacement centre caps, replacement nuts requiring an external socket wrench, replacement nuts requiring an internal Allen key wrench and Jaguar badges are available from stock. The wheels are not supplied with Jaguar badges fitted to the caps, these must be purchased separately.

For bolt-on wheel nuts the recommended torque is 75 ft lb (102 N m) but may vary depending on the vehicle

Extra Information

Other comments A centre lock conversion using our part number XW493 with Series I E-type hubs is possible, however, this has not been tried, tested or verified by MWS.

Always check the history of the vehicle to ensure that there have been no modifications to the running gear.

Hubs/splines, spinners and nuts remain the same, unless noted otherwise, regardless of which wheel is fitted.

We also stock wire wheel maintenance accessories such as our Cleaning Kit (Refills available), Cleaning Brush, Degreaser and Tyre Foam.
