19x8.5 are the smallest you can fit over the larger brakes, this was confirmed to me by my dealership and the rim manufacturer last year when I was checking.

Hey BNC. I just got an f-type R, 2016, steel brakes (not ceramic) in Langley, BC. The fountain tire guys tell me I need 20" rims. Seems like people on this forum have managed to get 19" wheels on, but it's not clear that it has been confirmed which year/model of 19" rim definitely fits on a 2016 R. Did you finally get it sorted out? I think there are more choices for good winter tires in 19". They may also be cheaper. Thanks for the help.

Here's what I ended up getting from Jaguar Calgary (I bought the sensors online from the U.S. for $310 (Canadian - delivered).

[QUOTE=rammer_28;1314751]Braelin out of Quebec has a few choices for the F-Type, you can pick them up on 1010tires for good prices. I put 19x8.5''(5/108 45 63.30) on all 4 corners to drop down to 245 wide. I recommend X-ice or Blizzaks as the Hakkas are hard to come by and if you get a flat in Feb/Mar the inventory is almost guaranteed to be gone.[/QUTE]
You put 19"s 8.5" on all 4 corners on an R?

When I lived in far colder climates, I swore by the Hakkas. Available here: https://simpletire.com/catalog?selec...y=nokian-tires

Coincidentally this is about as much as I paid for my winter beater Subaru Forester with winter tires. It has all wheel drive, lots of clearance that provides lots of winter drive-ability further enhanced by "I don't give a **** about it"-ism. I yet to get stuck, despite on occasion trying to, that thing has LSD in the rear and unprecedented ability to get through anything.
As to winter tires - I really like Michelin X-Ice 3. Where I live it snows and ices a lot, and these tires great for both deep snow and ice.

Yes, I went down to the 8.5" on all 4s, put a spacer on the back, this allows me to rotate all 4 corners evenly and let me drop down to 245 wide on the back, the narrower the tire the better in the snow.
