I think the wheels and size look great. Crazy that even 22" wheels don't look that large on this car. I agree with Nedoerrhowever...does make the rotors look too small. And I would definitely be concerned with bumpy roads...Firestone recently informed me one of my 20" Mataivas is very slightly bent.

In both cases it's a change from 355 mm front and 326 mm rear (exactly what you have on your XJ) to 380 mm front and 376 mm rear.
Which means that XJR brakes (exact same 380 mm front and 376 mm rear as the XFR) should bolt straight up to your XJ.
With the 380 mm front brakes they are exactly the same brakes across XF, XJ and F-Type so you don't have to restrict yourself to the XJR version, any will do.
But you may have to check that the front wheels will clear the 380 mm calipers even though you have 22" wheels.
With the rear 376 mm brakes the F-Type version is different to the XFR version due to the different handbrake / EPB set ups - same rotors but different calipers and pads - so with the XJ it depends on what type of EPB set up you have (single central motor or separate motors on each caliper), but surely XJR ones will bolt straight up.
So the list of new parts you will need is:
- rotors/discs
- calipers and caliper brackets
- pads
- splash/dust shields
None of these come cheap and the only used parts you might be able to get away with (and find!) are the calipers and caliper brackets.
You can also get a nice set of slotted and/or drilled rotors on Fleabay for less than the cost of new OEM rotors.
Or else you can go the whole hog and get a set of Wortec "suncut" lightweight two piece rotors from Vivid Racing.
