Default Tire size choice
The tire size in the 17" wheels are 50 series tires.Can you install 45 series tires instead ? Will the ABS system give any errors ?

Use this website page :-

t'll tell you the speedo error. I belive a Jaguar dealer can also reprogram the speedo to suit different tyres and also wheel sizes. For a fee of course !!

I'm fine with the speed error just wondering how will it look.

Pretty small overall wheel/tire size. The XE might look a bit like a roller skate.
