Winter Tires
I spent a lot of time trying to find 19" wheels that would fit our 2015 F Type S convertible so I could get a narrower profile winter tire. Never did find them. Ended up with CARID and getting WHITLEY Hyper Silver with Mirror Cut Lip wheels by Coventry®. 20" x 8.5", +35 Offset, 5x108 Bolt Pattern, 63.4mm Hub. All four wheels the same size. Paired them up with MICHELIN® 24417 - PILOT ALPIN PA4 (245/35R20 V) snow tires.
Haven't mounted them yet so we'll see how it goes in the snow.
Hope this helps as I spent a lot of effort trying to downsize to the 19" wheel.

I was told the bolt pattern , etc. etc. for my XKR and thus the winter tires would be good to go with the F Type ?.. anyway, looks like you have it sorted.

Update: no longer considering the Savinis. I almost bought a set as the local distributor 'confirmed' that they fit but they didn't have the model I wanted. As a result I called Savini directly. I spoke with the tech at their shop and he said none of their 19 inch rims will fit over the calipers on the 6-S. They were really helpful people and the 20s will fit of course, but not an option I want for new England winter driving. Following more searching looks like I might have to go with OEMs for 19 - not too thrilled about that.

I've driven for about a week now on a set of Blizzak LM-32s, OEM 19" orbits. We haven't had any of the white stuff yet, but temps are in the 30s and the ride quality is excellent. Very soft and comfortable.
I can't find a place to buy these online anywhere. The places that stock this tire ... don't have the 20"
