I'm driving down to Toronto on Monday to purchase a set of lightly used
winter alloys and tires.

The setup is the same size wheel that came with the base 2.5L X Type.
That is, 205/55-16 tires on Ford Taurus alloy wheels, same center bore and
lug pattern as the Jaguar.

Will the smaller wheels clear my calipers ... I have the 3 Litre 2004 X Type?
I'm guessing they are a straight fit, and the bigger motor Jag has the same
brake calipers as the smaller motor car?

Thanks in advance,

Ted.

 

The brakes are the same, so more likely you should be ok

 

Good to hear!
