No, all rims have the same wide 8.5" (Base and XLR-V).
The size of the rear tire are wider 255/40 R19.
The Tire on my car have the same size in front and rear 255/40 R19.

So your saying you installed these V size tires and rims on the base model XLR and have no rubbing issues ? Correct?

Been think about wheels was assuming V wheels would not fit, but now it gives me a future option to wheels and tire! [emoji3]
I just installed new BFGoodrich Tires last year still like new! Thanks again I appreciate it! [emoji482]

The 2005 XLR with original 18" Wheels.



The same car with XLR-V 19" Wheels.

Looks like another car. It's fantastic.

I found a couple V rims that are a 4 sets..... I almost hit the buy button, but I'd need to buy new tires too, if I could sell my original wheels with new BF Goodrich tires I may pull the trigger!

What tires are you running? Are you running Run Flat tires? If so what type and size so I can get an estimate cost on a set! Thx

I don't use Run Flattires. I have a small air compressor in the trunk.
My actually tires are Goodyear Eagle - low noise and good for rainy days.

Run flats are very hard to find for the 19" rims in stock V sizes.
