can I upgrade from 16 to 17 inches safely

Jag X-Type 3.0 AWD- currently running with Pirelli/ Firestone 225/40 R18's- now looking for comfort rather than performance- what is minimum size wheel (16"?), and best tyre for bump absorption?

The RIM is bent and cracked after hitting a pot hole. Can it be repaired ?
Looks like Aluminum Alloy....16in
and cost $$$ ???
Thanks

Have just bought a x-trpe 2.2d Sport and it has the 18 inch alloys and 225/40R18/092/Y tyre combo. What would give me a better ride but still maintain good performance as I am finding my Jag is crashing over some rough road services and potholes?

hi guys i am going to change my like new 16" for 18" rims do i have to change the nuts as well

Hi, i am selling some alloys to someone with a jaguar x type sport 04 plate, will these fit?

Size : 18 inch by 9
Pcd size : 5x108
Cb : 73.1
Et : 45

Thankyou

hi, I'm trading in my 2.0 D my se xtype for a 2.2D sport premium xtype, the old one has the factory 17" alloys and the new one has 18" factory alloys, the larger alloy looks like it has lower profile tyres on, could I ask the garage to put my old wheels on the new car as I would prefer a softer ride?

hi, thanks for getting back, I know the tires have to match the alloy, I wondered if I could put the 17" alloys form my old car into the new one as the bolt holes match, it's more a question of speedo and odometer reading correctly as I think the outside circumference would be very similar due to the profiles in the tyres on17" or 18" alloys.

Hi John,
Thanks for the reply, I can now make a decision on whether to exchange or leave alone.
I much appreciate your response.
Kind Regards

I recently acquired a 2007 Jaguar X-Type, fully optioned, including 18" Aruba sport wheels. Like Richard, I find them too hard riding, especially on DC streets, and plan to downsize to the 17". I could go for some remanufactured Jaguar OEM wheels, but might consider a quality after-market alternative if it'll fit, look and perform right. Any recommendations? The Coventry wheels look nice, but don't care for that mirror lip, and they're 8" wide, whereas the originals are 7", so some concern about clearance.

Contrary to the chart, the standard wheel size for the 2007 Jaguar X-Type, at least in the US, is 225/45R17, not 225/40R18 as listed. As noted in an earlier posting, mine included the 18" Aruba wheel upgrade, but I'm looking to move down to the Andros/Belize or Bermuda wheels.

got 225/40zr18 on x type 2.2 sovereign will 225/55r16 fit as i want a softer quieter ride.thanks dave

Hi I have a 2005 x type 3.0 awd & want to upgrade the factory 17" alloys to 19" with 255/30/19" tyres has anyone done this ?
Thanks Mark

Hi John, Thank you for your quick reply to my question regarding wheel sizes for my Jaguar x type 3.0 awd
the original wheels are 7j x 17 ET 52.5 & the after market wheels I am looking at are 8.5j x 19 ET 42,
Please can you advise if these are compatible to fit with a 255x30x19" tyre combo
Regards
Mark

Hi John, sorry I thought I had put the original tyre size on my message, the original tyre size on the car is, 225x45x17"

Hi there, currently on my 2.5 V6 AWD Jaguar X Type I am running 18x7.5, ET52.5, OE wheels with 225/40 Goodyear Eagle F1 tyres.
I'm updating my wheels so the question is will 18x8 ET42 wheels fit with the same tyres as above as the arch liners look quite close on full steering lock?

i am currently using 225/45 R17 on a 2001 X-type 3.0 petrol jaguar. Is that the correct size of wheels? if it isnt then how is it affecting perfomance
