Default F type Wheels on base 4.2l

From what I've read on the forum I know that the 19" F-Type wheels will fit my base model 2008 XK , but can anyone say whether the stock TPMS in the f-type wheels and tires will be an issue?
Thanks

Don't see why they wouldn't - could use the xk sensors.

18" Vela wheels (f-type)

20" gyrodyne wheels (f-type)


20" gyrodyne wheel "Diamond cut" finish (f-type)


19" Orbital wheel (f-type)


A few pics with f type wheels on 07-09 so you get an idea think the 19" is the Goldilocks wheel ...good balance of comfort and visual appeal .

Thanks for posting pics. I believe the ones I'm looking at are called "centrifuge", I will post a pic if I go with them.

Steve,
From what I can find it looks like the offset for the front is 50 and for the rear 27, do you know if that should work with the lug nuts from my Sabra wheels?

They'll fit nicely)))
​​​​​​ although bringing the fronts in with 10mm of possibly 15,mm spacers would look the part !

So it looks like the f-type and the XK use the same frequency but the sensors are different and not interchangeable. Can anyone confirm that this will be okay and not light up the TPMS (with good sensors of course)?

I'm pretty sure that if the wheels are North American they will be the same frequency.

Hi Steve, do you know if the 19" Orbital (f-type) wheels will fit a 2008 base 4.2 Xk without any issues or do you think the rears would stick out too far due to offset? Thanks in advance.
