Default 18" or 19" wheels on an XJS?

Has anyone here run 18" or 19" aftermarket wheels on their XJS?
I found some info from a guy running 17" wheels on his, he used 20mm offset in the front and 35mm in the back, but I want to run a 19" X 8.5" wheel in the front and 19" x9.5" in the rear (staggered look), and I'm not sure what can fit. I don't mind modifying the inner wheel well, and I do want them to look more flush with the fenders. Hopefully I can fit a 275 tire in the back and a 245 in the front. My XJS is a 1990, Rouge Collection.

I agree. The trailer hitch messes up the look.

It's cool, I usually end up figuring out things on my own anyway, I'll let you guys know what I end up running for wheels.
