I have seen a set of 245/40/19 8J et45 wheels that I like off of a 2016 XF R Sport. Will these fit my 2011 3.0D XF with 245/40/19 8.5J et49 wheels?

Update on my post re leaking sump. Week and a half after the service the computer was telling me to top up the oil, half a litre. So, concerned I took the car back to the stealers and after they had had a look, that took them an hour and a half, they informed me that it looks as though the turbo oil return pipes were leaking! They would like to have it for a couple of days to check it out. They have booked it in for two weeks time. I then went to an independent Jag specialist. After just a couple of minutes having the car up on the lift they agreed it is the turbo oil return pipes that are leaking. Both myself and the indy think the oil leaking from the turbo oil return pipes obviously ran down onto the sump case giving the impression that the sump gasket was leaking, a far easier fix than the turbo pipes. A costly miss diagnosis. It has left a very nasty taste. I am finding it hard to believe I am having these problems on a five year old, 33000 mile car that is lovingly cared for. I had already written an email of complaint to the branch manager, with no reply, I have emailed quite a detailed account of the situation to Jaguar Customer Services and they have emailed back informing me they will be liaising with the dealer. I have never had anything like these sort's of problems with any cars that I have owned over many years of driving, 54 years in fact. If I get no joy from Jaguar or the dealer there is a strong possibility I will go back to BMW or Mercedes.

My late 2011 3 litre diesel has been in for its service today (32000 miles). The dealers rang to say I needed two new front tyres because each one had a split, would require retracking all four wheels AND the engine sump was leaking oil all at a cost of nearly £1700 to carry out repairs and service. The car had passed it's mot before the service had been carried out with no advisories. After some negotiation the dealer agreed to repair the sump leak 'as a gesture of good will' saying it would take about 6/7 hours. I did not have the tyres etc replaced. We finally agreed a price of £800 for the sump, mot and service, a saving of about £350 on the dealers original price. I am so angry. I cannot believe the engine sump leak, I have never seen a hint of oil on the garage floor or on my 'sloping drive', but felt pushed into a corner. What do you guys think.

Further to my last post I have just had another look at this 'black part' and stamped on it is ' handle with care speaker on bottom '. Does this mean I will not be able to remove it to enable me to fit a full size 19'' wheel without the wheel raising the height of the floor?

I was considering a space saver but after reading Marks comments on a full size wheel I think thats a much better idea. So I removed the polystyrene tray only to find a large black plastic part that fills the bottom of the well, it has an electrical component screwed to it. Do you think I can remove this black plastic part? I don't appear to have an upgraded radio ( there are no names on the speakers ). I also have a spare 19'' tyre that I tried in the well and that looked ok and I will use that should i buy a full size wheel.
