XKR Dynamic R SPACESAVER

[douglas67]

Hi
I have a 2014 XKR Dynamic R. These cars have the larger front callipers from the XKR-S.
I’ve had two blowouts on potholes with no spare wheel option. Jaguar Assistance both times.
Has anyone found a spacesaver that fits these cars? I have the recessed boot, so could carry a spacesaver.
Thanks in anticipation

Sorry. I’ve been away. Thanks for that. I’ll have a look.

I have a full space XKR space saver kit (wheel, jack, brace, bag, foam thingy etc) which I bought for my 5.0 XK but never used (and then kept when I px'd that car). It is the 'red' one which I think I the larger one (not 100% sure though). Not been used - bobbles still on tyre. If it will fit yours I'm happy to sell - but you are 300+ miles from me !

I've been fortunate enough to own both flavours of XKR and had a spare wheel for each.

For the X100, the RED spacesaver is the larger wheel.

For the X150, the BLACK spacesaver is the larger wheel.

I've been unfortunate enough to have had to use both, each time on the front axle.

Ahhh. It is likely that Doug needs the black wheel then to clear the larger Dynamic brake calipers.

Hi
I bought the black one and found out that it didn’t fit over the calipers. Fortunately I was able to return it.
The Dynamic R was the last run out model and got the calipers from the more expensive and powerful XKR-S.
As I’ve already made a mistake, I’m desperate to find another owner of the Dynamic R to see if they’ve found a solution.
Thanks for your replies

i am researching this as well,was it the 19 inch wheel that you tried,and are you running on Brembro calipers.

[douglas67]

Not sure whether they are Brembo. I assume they are exactly the same as the ones from the
XKR-S.
Yeah I think it was the 19” wheel, but can’t be sure as I’ve returned it now.

[douglas67]

Can’t seem to be able to upload the image of my wheels.

If it is a 2014 dynamic r it should run brembro calipers which are usually red,there was an option of alcon carbon brakes painted yellow.

Hi,

I have an XJ Supersport and has the same calipers as those shown but in grey, the space saver doesn't fit over them so can only use it for a rear puncture.......ask me how I know...!!!

XK Dynamic R, XKR-S, XKR 75 and "regular" 5.0 XKR calipers are all identical, just some are red and some are grey. XKR-S got different rear pads but that's about the only difference. All are made by ATE Teeves, Brembo never made calipers for the alloy body X150 cars, only the older X100 steel body models.

The older 4.2 XKR-S and XKR Portfolio got the Alcon 6-pot calipers on front and 4-pot calipers on the rear, these had larger discs than the regular XKR of that time.

GOOD INFO 8 bit
Thanks
So will a 19" xf space saver fit on a 2014 dynamic r front and back.

No idea I'm afraid. I know some of the 19" alloy wheels will fit over the brakes but can't say for space savers. I'd think you might have an issue with the rolling circumference of the overall wheel and tyre on a 19" spacesaver being lower than that of the other wheels, if they are all 20".

135/70/R19 4J fits front and back on 2014 dynamic R, rolling radius is the same due to the tyre profile ,best to change the wheel nuts as well and get yourself a jack.

[douglas67]

I’m now confused!!
So, will this spare def fit my 2014 Dynamic R?

[douglas67]

That spare is from this car advert.

This is what you need, rgds Steve
(if you have ATE stock brakes)
