If they are the 380 mm front brakes then 19" wheels (other than OEM F-Type wheels) won't fit over the calipers.
If your XK is an XKR then it has the 380 mm front brakes for sure and I understand the cooking XK came with 355 mm front brakes but could be optioned up to the 380 mm front brakes but rarely was.
Three ways to tell/check:
1. Just by looking at the front brake calipers, they are similar but different, I can pick them from a mile away (OK, call it 20 feet).
2. Simply grab a rule and measure the diameter of a brake disc/rotor, no need to take the wheel off as ball park will be enough to tell.
3. Check down the side of a front caliper holder/bracket, it will have either 355 or 380 stamped into it, but you may need to clean off some road crud before you can see it.
