Hello, I really like the 19" wheels on car, the problem I have is I go to coventry wheels and they say they only have them in 19" x 8.5" and they won't fit my 02 X-type. Im thinking they must have them and I must have some info incorrect. If you would, could you send me specs of wheels and tires so I can finally get this little project finished. It seems that every time I find wheels I like, nope wont fit, wrong size or whatever. Anyway, I see them on car so I know I can buy them. If you can help. Thank you.
Trust me when I say they are wrong. The 19x8.5" ET42 Coventry Whitley in 5x108 with 225/35/19 WILL FIT without rubbing or any fender mods.
After having more than a dozen sets of wheels (up to 10" wide in front and rear), I can promise you they will fit. Tire guys don't always hold high school diplomas and haven't tested wheels on X-Types in the same way I have.
Just tell them you have a 2008 XJ. At that point you will have outsmarted them.
By the way - my 18" Coventry Whitleys are 18x9.5" ET25 (XK rear fitment) and they fit. I wouldn't advise you doing that unless you want to go low, roll fenders and achieve a "stance" look, but just to prove they fit.
