Default Rims Question

Fellas, I am looking into these wheels. I was considering the 18" rims. These are the specs that the guys gave me. Would these fit properly on my 95 xjs? Also, would a 19" fit? Also, what type of rotors would look nice with the rims? Any drilled ones that you would recommend?

Is the manufacturer Coventry West? They should know the fitment. I think their wheels are made specifically for Jaguar vehicles.

A casual look suggests that they might not fit. I know a 17x8.0" wheel with 30-33* offset does fit. An 8.5" wheel is going to move the tire .25" closer to the fender/quarter lip, and going down in offset is going to move it out another .25". I think the total of .50" will be too much and your tire will rub.

I am not 100% sure about this. Maybe someone else could chime in.

For normal road use I would be wary of too large rims. The suspension is not set up for it so the car will tend to be skittish and will tramline badly. It will be slightly less so if the tyres have rounded shoulders but ........
