Default Rim/tire questions

Hey I have a few questions I hope somebody can help me with. I did use the search feature for about 15-20 minutes and could not find quite what I was looking for so please dont beat me up to bad for a question thats probably been asked a million times here! So I have a 2005 X type and I would like to buy a set of rims for it. I've looked at the selection of 19" wheels and was not impressed at the selection. When I expanded my search to include 20's I had a lot better rim selection. Now to my question. What can you fit on a stock X-type without cutting it to close. It looks like 8" wide is probably what I need right? Is 8.5" cutting it to close? Can you fit a 20" rim without any modifications such as rolling the fenders and what not? Also what tire size would you recommend using on a 20" rim. I know it will be a rubber band tire. Thanks for any help you guys can give me!

Well by the end of next week I guess my Jag will be looking like a toon car! That's how we do things down in the dirty south! Go big or go home!
