Not a tough guy, just rubs me the wrong way when someone asks for help, you take time out of your day to write a semi-lengthy response, and instead of even a thank you, you see a thread where the same question is asked

There is a reason your first response was to ask me

There are only like 2 or 3 active members running 20s, so info is hard to come by and like I said, you need MUCH more info before you can determine if these, or any other wheel, will fit.

Max, that tool is invaluable, with the right info. When you go to the listing, there is no info on backspace and offset, just a tagline that says they will fit any XF from 2004-2008. The SRT and NA have pretty different suspensions, I know because my rims came off an SRT (fit perfectly) and on my NA, they would not even turn w/o spacers, so I am not sure how they can make a blanket statement like that.

I would go with a 20" on the rear, because they look soo good, especially a 295/30-20. Either do an 18" in the front (have plenty of room to play with) or even a 19", but please keep the staggered fitment, and if you can add a nice lip like the ones you posted earlier, even better.

I am trying to help, just trying to get across that this is not like replacing your windshield wipers and there are few people who will have definitive answers for you, so try and show a little respect to those who are willing to help.....
