erick, the question becomes how much work are you willing to do to make the wheels fit. The big thing is not so much how big of a rim, but overall tire diameter. To put things into perspective, I am running 235/40R17's on my car and the rubber just barely touches the fender liner at a given point in a turn. I have not modified anything on my car. While others are running 225/30R20's on their car, but they have rolled their fenders and done some other wheel well work to make the tires clear. So, what are you willing to do? That will define how big you can go.

Something else you may want to consider is how good your roads are. A lot of members have stepped up to 19's and some to 20's and have found that unless the roads are pretty good where they drive, they end up having either lots of rim issues (splitting the rim or bending it) or taking a step back and running 18's so there is a bit more rubber to prevent rim damage.

NOt telling you what you should do to your car. But simply pointing out pros and cons to what you are possibly looking at.

Default pa roads are the worst

I have 17s on mine. But come winter here I prefer the 16s because of the potholes. Last year we had potholes here till June. Unreal.

Thanks for the replies to all of yall who replied back.
I was thinking of rolling the fenders so that that way I have more options.
What would be your opinions on which custom wheels would look the best on a jaguar X type.
I have my eyes on the Niche 19x8.5 Niche Verona Black/Machined w/ Tint. Is thishe a good fitment I could put on my car?
As you can see I'm new to Jaguars

erick, the rims that look good on a car is a very subjective question/answer (kinda like asking what is the best color on a car). Find some rims that make you happy and go from there. You will find that if you go off of what others say, you will be getting a lot of conflicting information.

Thanks for the reply. May I ask.
How much did it cost you to roll your fenders?
And what do you mean by "limiters"?
