Winter tyres - will these fit my Jaguar?

My friend has a Jaguar S-Type (2007) and wants to purchase winter tyres and wheels 245 x 40 x 18. I have a Jaguar XF 2011 which I will sell to him next year which has 245 x 40 x 19 standard tyres.

Will his wheels and winter tyres fit my XF?

Of course not, because your wheels are 1" bigger radius.

Wonderful and bespoke feeling interior. Amazingly quiet and refined. More economical 2.2 diesel from 2011. Navigation not fitted as standard on most models.
