Hey guys i just bought an 04 XJ with 40k miles, just bought a set of 20" Staggered Sentas from this guy last week. Installed it yesterday with 255/35/20 tires on the front and 275/35/20 on the back, but i've had a lot of rubbing on the back tires after going over even the smallest bump on the road.. What do u guys suggest I do to make them fit? Can it be solved with going to a 255 (like the front, even though they are barely larger on the back) or a 265? Or do I need to also reduce the rear height of the tire to 30 instead of 35.. Fronts fit fine.. I'd appreciate the help guys..

I have 275/35/19's on the rear of mine and 245/40/19's on the front no problems
With those tyres your speedometer will be out if you have a GPS unit you can calculate by how far then use this calculator Visual Tyre Size Calculator | Kouki Tech to see what tyres you will need to get your speedometer right again
I have found that if your speedometer is reading 6 k,s over 1.7 percent larger tyre will compensate

Yes you will have the wrong offset on the back.
The early X150 XK's had a narrower rear axle so the rear wheels were a lower offset to compensate. This changed with the later X150's so the offset was the same as the XF & XJ
No doubt the rear wheels you have are around ET35, you need ET49, that 14mm difference, is a big difference...
