JaguarXJL15, will the tires/rims mount to the car. YES!!!!!! BUT!!!!!!!!!, keep in mind that the tires are also 12% taller (31 inches tall vice the normal 27.7 inches of the stock tires). What does this mean? TONS OF RUBBING!!!!!! You are going to be rubbing the wheel well most likely just driving straight down the road, let alone when you turn. You are very likely to cause a significant amount of damage to the car.

Then you have the issue of the transmission not knowing when to properly shift based on the speed that the car is going. You are going to have a speedo that reads significantly off (will read 53 mph when actually doing 60). This will be enough to cause the car to shift somewhat randomly as it tries to find the right gear as it is going to see more load on the car for the same drive. It will drive down the road, but I do not think you are going to be happy with the performance.
