Default New Wheels and Tires

Hi everyone I have 16" OEM Wheel and I really don't like the look of it and I blew out one of the tires so I'm driving on the spare. I wanted to upgrade to the Aruba 18". Does anyone know if they will fit on what tire and The specs of the Aruba Bolt Pattern and the Offset is the correct number. I called and Saw the Aruba is a 52.5 and he went crazy saying that they fell usually from 39-42

What I want
Jaguar X-Type 2004 18" OEM Wheel Rim Aruba

What I have
Jaguar X-Type 2003 16" OEM Wheel Rim

Thanks any help is appreciated!

Thank you for the information but I didn't understand it or If you can just confirm it with me I need that tire that will fit a 18x7.5 and the ET52.5 is the offset? I have a 2003 Jaguar X type 2.5 not sure if there is a difference?

My old totaled X type came with 17 inch stock Cayman rims. After a lot of cracked rims I bought a set of used Basic 16 inch stock rims. No more cracked rims and the ride improved noticeably.

Now my "new" 05 came with Caymans again. I already bought a new or refurbished rim of E bay, to replace one that's bad, but I may eventually look for a 16 inch set again.

The Arubas should be plug and play and would fit your car. I had them on my X-Type and loved the look. The tire size was 225/40/18. The only thing is, if you don't have the sport model the ride height might look a bit high and you might consider buying lowering springs to drop it a bit.
