Those are not CV wheels, those are Lincoln MarkVII LSC wheels.

stop liking what i like. you guys are going to drive up the prices of these wheels!!!


but here's a protip: buy some hideous chrome wheels that are 5x4 lug spacing and at least 17" diameter and about $200. then trade them to a crown vic owner with dem rimz.

Crown Vic and Mark 7 have the double step. Grand Marquis has single step.

Also, you can't get brand new BBS replicas for near this price brand new... I have seen multiple sets for $200-$250.

^^^Not 100% of the time, I believe it depends on the year. I think I have what is referred to as the double step lip. And my set came off a '99 Grand Marquis with the sport/touring package.

I have a pair of the same wheels, also off of a Marquis. IIRC they did come on specific years of CV and Marquis, but I don't remember what range of years.

Mac's car was kitted for a while with Crown Vics, no overs or flares though. Here's a link to his build thread if you want to see pics.

Any details on how they fit in the fenders once you slam it? I'm getting coils in a month, and I want to know if my fenders need more than just a roll? I have the double step with a 5 mm spacer to clear the calipers, and it sits kind of mexi about 3 mm out. Not sure if I can camber the wheels enough to fit.

As you can see, its a decent bit of poke.
