Were 19 inch wheels an option on 03 XJR's?
The 03 XJR I have has 20 inch aftermarket wheels. The Jaguar service place I go to has a 98 or 99 parts XJR that I could have bought the 18 inch wheels from. It turns out I can't use them because I have the 'big brakes'. What do they mean by 'big brakes'?

It sounds like I will eventually have to find aftermarket 18 inch wheels.

Or you could downgrade to the standard (non-Brembo) brakes as well? If you're only ever using it for regular road use, you probably won't even notice the slight decrease in performance.
Also, there are usually plenty of people willing to pay very good money for Brembo's and the associated wheels so they can upgrade. You'd probably make a nice profit from the whole thing, and get a more comfortable ride while you're at it.
Do you have a pic of the wheels currently on your car?

18's can look fine, like the factory XJR 18's, but I do kind of agree when it comes to the Milans. Something about the spokes sticking out like they do makes them look undersized for the car.
19's are a nice modern looking alternative. Although, you might have more luck going with aftermarket 18's instead. Plus they'll probably be cheaper than finding genuine Jaguar BBS wheels.

I called the San Diego Jaguar dealer's parts department today to ask them about what sized wheels came with my XJR. I gave them the last 5 #'s of my VIN. You were correct when you said it came with 18 inch BBS Milan wheels. The dealer also said my XJR did come with an upgraded suspension. The Jaguar service place I go to told me the shocks and struts are still the regular kind and not the electronic kind.

In the US, The 02/03 XJR came stock with the CATS ( Computer Active technology Suspension)
Prior years (98 to 01) did not
Just open the hood and look at the top of the shock , do you have a wiring with a plug or not?
if yes, you have CATS, if not, you don't

So going bigger will only make it worse.

I would never get bigger wheels. Only 18 or 19 inch wheels. I can't even afford it now so maybe some other time.
