Alternatively, you can simply override the skins/default/en/items_list/product/center/list/parts/body/thumbnail.tpl
template using Custom Skin module and hard-code your thumbnail sizes in this piece:
Code:
<widget
class="\XLite\View\Image"
image="{product.getImage()}"
maxWidth="{getIconWidth()}"
maxHeight="{getIconHeight()}"
alt="{product.name}"
className="photo" />
