Jag wheels

Not having built my Cob Im unsure about the wheels and have a simple question. I know that as a Dax it is Jag based therefor will any 5 stud Jag based wheel fit on my hubs?
Is there a technical description for the spacing of the nuts so that I can consider alternative wheels eg Mustang wheels from the States etc???

Yes, the Dax manual details the wheel dimensions but I think you need wheels to fit the type of chassis. The IRS chassis uses XJS whereas the De Dijon uses XJ40 and I believe they are different.

I'm sure I'll be corrected if I'm wrong

Quite correct the old XJ6 wheels will foul on the rear brake callipers not sure about the front, as we did not bother to try.
