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 to suit a 205/70R15 tyre or contact us if you are using a 195/65R15 tyre. We recommend using 15"/16" rim bands.
Notes This wheel is the successor to our discontinued XW470.

Extra Information
Other comments Most of the original model were fitted with peg drive wheels, some cars were fitted with wheels wider than the standard 6". The wheels used at Le Mans were of the same pattern as the Dunlop Magnesium wheels for the lightweight Jaguar E-Type.

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.
