same here, but how could you fit 50 width in the XJC ?

I scroll down after pressing "from device" but nothing comes on.

Jose, they're on XJS Sport wheels I think they're 8x16, no problems with clearance.

I've fitted Laufenn tyres to my Series 1 with 15" Series !! wheels & very happy.
They a budget version of Hankook, not sure where they are made or whether available Stateside.

Note the correct spelling of "tyres".
