Well, that's no good!
Just to clarify, these are:
20" 8.5/49 (front)
20" 9.5/46 (rear)
Does changing the above model to test for front and rear make sense?
Thanks,

Your wheels are fine and dandy. I just made a model to get the largest wheels and tires under the car and still have proper spacing between the wheel arches and the suspension/inside wheel well area.
Stock rear wheels on the front, way custom wheels on the rear. Not a great idea as the rears would be full-custom jobs and probably $4000 per each. I just figured it out for funzies.
They are on FB Marketplace...go get them. Dude came down to 800 without even blinking.
I may have mentioned this previously, but I saw these wheels on another car...and it turned me off. They were on a Ford Taurus.
Any chance you could point me to a link or give me the seller's contact contact info? I did a FB Marketplace search for Jaguar rims/wheels in Chicago area but couldn't find them. Also, when you say you saw these wheels on a Ford Taurus, do you mean this particular set?
if you ever need used tires the guy selling them has some serious deals, click on the profile and message him. they’re marked cromadora on the inside i’m pretty sure it’s one of the x350 wheels
I'm getting these custom made at Car id and it cost me $6,000.I bought them back in May but the shipment of material got delayed that they're using to create them.But they gave me a ship date on Sept 16th to be created by then and shipped to me.They going to be 22s but they are going to be the same width in the front and the back as my OEM wheels that would fit 285 rear tires and 255 front tires.They're going to be so customized,they'll even be able to fit my OEM Jaguar center caps😎i'll show pics of how they look when i put them on my XKR when they get here

1 more thing to warn everybody about when putting a different set of wheels on your Jaguar.Make sure your wheels fit the Hub bore size and clear themselves over the Brake calipers.I had a set of aftermarket wheels i had to give away cause they didn't fit on and over either 1.If the wheels don't fit the hub bore size,they'll break your lugs nuts off and you can say good bye to your wheels when you driving if you still alive after that happen.It's a hit or miss for brakes cause you can shave your brake calipers down to make your set of wheels fit but I REALLY don't recommend anybody doing that and that's just coming from my experience.

Bigger is better they say? Just need to cut the springs to lower the car so it will ride just like OEM and you don't need a step ladder to get into the car. hahahaha

that's a set of 24s or 26s aint it?That's TOO big!I wouldn't recommend a size over 22 on an XKR or XK cause it looks goofy and I don't think very big wheels look good on a sports car anyway except for those very old 1s from the 70s

This is 1 of my Friends 2009 XK on 22s and I got the idea from him how it looks more sporty and how I want mine to look and you can see the wheels better on his car in this size when i compared my Jag to his side by side.I'll get better pics of his 1 day, just not right now cause he lives 2hrs away from me.A size bigger never hurts😎unless you over do it

I put a set of those Takobas on my 2009 Portfolio and found I needed to add spacers to adjust the offset when compared to
the wheels that came on the car. Put 15mm on the rear and left the front as is, but I may put the 15mm up front and put 20mm on the rear... not much big of a difference so no rush.

Picture below is before I added the spacers to the rear.
looks good on it
