Default XJ8 Wheels On S Type

Hello all,

I have been searching all over for a set of wheels for my 2002 S Type. I want it to look very presidential with a touch of American muscle style wheels (think Old School Camero) when I ran across a picture of a 2008 XJR. The stock wheels are exactly what I am looking for. However the smallest size is a 19". Can anyone give me some info as to whether these would fit well on an s type without rubbing? Also, will I lose a lot of smoothness in my drive if a go that large?

those are 20" Calisto style wheels you have in that picture. Im not even sure if they will fit an 02, but 03 and up yes XJ wheels bolt right on.

19" Custom style wheels also look smiliar.

it will probably ride rougher then it does now but how much is subjective.

Those should fit fine and there is a used set of the 20" version on Ebay right now. You'll need to have them refinished, but that is only $50-100 per wheel typically once you have them in your posession.
